Josh Waitzkin knows the road to excellence. Catapulted into a
media whirlwind as a child, the subject of the book and movie Searching for Bobby Fischer,
he has mastered both the rigorous mental game of chess -- winning his
first National Championship at the age of nine -- and the strenuous
physical challenge of martial arts, becoming a master of Tai Chi Chuan
and earning the title of World Champion. His phenomenal success is due
to the learning techniques he developed to bring both his mind and body
to peak performance. In a riveting narrative that takes readers on his
journey of discovery, conquering the high-pressure challenges of
intensely competitive chess face-offs and heart-stopping martial arts
wars, he reveals the inner workings of his methods, from systematically
triggering intuitive breakthroughs to mastering the art of performance
psychology. The Art of Learning
is essential reading for those who want to reach the highest levels of
achievement. pub date: 2008-05-27 | hardcover | 9780743277457 |
