Josh Waitzkin, an eight-time National Chess Champion in his youth, was the subject of the book and movie Searching for Bobby Fischer. At eighteen, he published his first book, Josh Waitzkin's Attacking Chess. Since the age of twenty, he has developed and been spokesperson for Chessmaster, the largest computer chess program in the world. Now a martial arts champion, he holds a combined twenty-one National Championship titles in addition to several World Championship titles. When not traveling the country giving seminars and keynote presentations, he lives and trains in New York City.
Josh Waitzkin knows what it means to be at the top of his game. A public figure since winning his first National Chess Championship at the age of nine, Waitzkin was catapulted into a media whirlwind as a teenager when his father's book Searching for Bobby Fischer was made into a major motion picture. After dominating the scholastic chess world for ten years, Waitzkin expanded his horizons, taking on the martial art Tai Chi Chuan and ultimately earning the title of World Champion. How was he able to reach the pinnacle of two disciplines that on the surface seem so different? "I've come to realize that what I am best at is not Tai Chi, and it is not chess," he says. "What I am best at is the art of learning." In his riveting new book, The Art of Learning , Waitzkin tells his remarkable story of personal achievement and shares the principles of learning and performance that have propelled him to the top -- twice. With a narrative that combines heart-stopping martial arts wars and tense chess face-offs with life lessons that speak to all of us, The Art of Learning takes readers through Waitzkin's unique journey to excellence. He explains in clear detail how a well-thought-out, principled approach to learning is what separates success from failure. Waitzkin believes that achievement, even at the championship level, is a function of a lifestyle that fuels a creative, resilient growth process. Rather than focusing on climactic wins, Waitzkin reveals the inner workings of his everyday method, from systematically triggering intuitive breakthroughs, to honing techniques into states of remarkable potency, to mastering the art of performance psychology. Through his own example, Waitzkin explains how to embrace defeat and make mistakes work for you. Does your opponent make you angry? Waitzkin describes how to channel emotions into creative fuel. As he explains it, obstacles are not obstacles but challenges to overcome, to spur the growth process by turning weaknesses into strengths. He illustrates the exact routines that he has used in all of his competitions, whether mental or physical, so that you too can achieve your peak performance zone in any competitive or professional circumstance. In stories ranging from his early years taking on chess hustlers as a seven year old in New York City's Washington Square Park, to dealing with the pressures of having a film made about his life, to International Chess Championships in India, Hungary, and Brazil, to gripping battles against powerhouse fighters in Taiwan in the Push Hands World Championships, The Art of Learning encapsulates an extraordinary competitor's life lessons in a page-turning narrative.
P34 追求卓越的关键在于,要坚持充满活力、长期的学习过程,不再满足于原地踏步、平平庸庸。 一个大学高数靠别人替考的我,自学数学分析,我知道会遇到挫折,但是我知道只要一个个题目做下去,就一定能学会,应该,算是做到了吧。 P46 在行为训练中,首先我们要学着心平气...
評分发人深省的好书,直接提高眼界和格局。 他这个书有点像是自传,有成功有失败,尤其对于失败是如何发生,他是如何思考,最终又如何解决举了好几个例子,很详细,有价值。看到后来渐渐觉得对于他来说,学习的过程其实就是成长的过程,随着心智的逐渐成熟,在面对事情时就能看明白...
評分2012年9月22日,非常有幸能够在安泰的读书会上为大家分享《学习之道》这本书。乔希·维茨金在自己31岁的时候完成了这本书的写作,讲述自己在国际象棋和太极推手赢得世界冠军。个人很少听说世界上有人可以在两个截然不同的领域里达到世界的巅峰,而维茨金却做到了。我一直以为他...
評分如果你真正的在学习一门技能,这本书的很多东西都值得你的认真阅读和实践。对于我来说,最有帮助的是第十一章,划小圈。 --------------------------------------- 我认为这个过程就是要挖掘技能的实质所在,然后有效地压缩技能的外在表现同时又紧紧围绕技能的内在实质。一段...
評分核心思想有三个。第一个叫做soft zone(软区域),第二叫做making smaller circles(画小圈),第三个叫做如何实现高水准的表现。 一、什么叫做软区域? 不正面抵抗,如顺着河道弯曲的河水,如随风摇摆的小草。无我。这样的境界叫做软区域。 (The soft zone means to lose you you...
先學會輸 然後纔學會贏 最典型的類似滑雪 最先學的是如何站穩 如何跌倒 如何跌倒瞭重新站穩 = = 設計好裏程碑 使得最壞情況發生時 自身仍然可以承受 並在可預期的未來恢復 如果最壞情況發生時承受不起 那就繼續細分裏程碑 直到步伐小到可以承受為止。
评分What the best in the world was all about....放一年前都看不懂,現在接近好多哈哈
评分第一次嘗試audio book, 居然是作者自己讀的!心得牛逼,講故事也很精到
评分從國際象棋世界冠軍到太極推手世界冠軍的跨度有多大?為什麼他能在兩個截然不同的領域達到一般人連一個領域都難以企及的高度?這本書讀下來,我想最重要的,應該是永遠保持一顆初學者的心態,永遠選擇去尋找方法,而不是逃避問題,這樣一種態度吧。關於心流體驗,以及創造力的解釋,這本書也提齣瞭很有意思的觀點。
评分不錯, deep practice的真人示範
