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.
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...
评分转自:www.lapisaii.net 《学习的艺术》是一本很特殊的书,写这“XX的艺术”类书的作者一般都是文人,而此书的作者却是国际象棋冠军及太极拳锦标赛冠军。水平极高体育冠军和造诣高超武术大师往往对世界有独特和深刻的理解和看法,可惜无奈与无文人骚客的笔墨之功,所以思想无...
评分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...
评分核心思想有三个。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...
评分读了前八章,实在没有读下去的欲望,后面选读了几章,剩下的浏览了一下。 最近觉得自己不论在记单词,看书,阅读文献,还是学习游泳,乒乓球,羽毛球上,都遇到了瓶颈。看到很多高手的表现很是羡慕,于是开始思考,人家是怎么做到的?这个问题实际上与学习的心理规律有关。不得...
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.
评分作者分享了一些自己的心得,但大部分篇幅是讲自己如何牛逼的。之所以从4星改到5星是因为作者“画小圈”的概念给我印象非常之深,使我有意识地套用这种方法去解决一些问题。“画小圈”本质上是分析问题并归纳提炼出一个基本的解决方案,并重复练习。这个基本的方案普遍,而且相对简单。就像军训走正步要练习分解动作这样。
评分What the best in the world was all about....放一年前都看不懂,现在接近好多哈哈
评分从国际象棋世界冠军到太极推手世界冠军的跨度有多大?为什么他能在两个截然不同的领域达到一般人连一个领域都难以企及的高度?这本书读下来,我想最重要的,应该是永远保持一颗初学者的心态,永远选择去寻找方法,而不是逃避问题,这样一种态度吧。关于心流体验,以及创造力的解释,这本书也提出了很有意思的观点。
评分本书注定是一本非常小众的书,因为其中讲的是那些感受是常人不能理解的。世界上写术的书很多,写道的书很少,特别是外国人写道那是少之又少。然而这并不代表不重要。人一辈子都在遭遇自己的心魔限制,却很少有人说出这其中的经历。仿佛只要是外表上看起来好就并没有什么暗流涌动过。作者详细描述了自己学习象棋和太极的心路历程,详细描述了自己在学习时候当下的内心感受。我想我们大部分人在学习的时候其实都忽略了自己的感受,而更注重技艺的增长,殊不知技艺的增长却是要依附在我们的心态之上的。读得非常无力,因为越到后面越看不懂,越觉得离自己千万里。感受到了自己的差距真是大到不可附加。
