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.
看了《学习的艺术》这本书后,结合自己的篮球经历,做一下有关篮球方面的总结。这篇文章适合的对象是热爱篮球的初学者以及以篮球为业余爱好的人,专业球员慎入。 一 渐进/整体理论 在球场上,有的人高高在上,犹如皇冠上的明珠,而有的人却只能成为不起眼的配角,甚至是被嫌...
評分看完这本书,我第一个问题是:什么是学习的艺术,作者将其总结为:用数字摆脱数字、用形式摆脱形式。实际上和如何阅读一本书的作者的观点如出一辙,学习的过程实际上就是吸收、运用(操练)、遗忘的过程。如何阅读一本书的作者以滑雪为例,形象的描述了这一过程,本书作者则以...
評分 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...
其實講得是心理調節,這玩意因人而異,沒有固定套路
评分將技術細節、整體把控和可以控製的靈感結閤到一起,就可以戰無不勝。 實際操作和理念都講的很清楚,難得的是就連靈感這種貌似捉摸不定的東西在這本書裏也變得有跡可循。剩下的就是從最基礎的細節開始實踐。 沒接觸過象棋和太極沒有關係,一通百通。
评分先學會輸 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While a lot of books talk about how to be"good" or "great" at something, this book talks about what separates the very best and the rest. Everything comes down to the passion and love, self introspection, and finding the beauty of fundamentals. A very pleasant and inspiring read.
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
