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.
合上书,表示我看完了。 打开扉页,上面写着,2009年11月16日,是拿到手的时间,今天,是19日,换言之,我花了三天——实际上是大概三个晚上——来看完这本书。 但是,我清楚地明白,我只是知道了,离做到,还有太遥远的距离。 无疑这是一本好书。关于学习的书,很多阐述的是...
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...
评分阅读《学习之道》,是一次震撼教育的过程。由于阅读匆忙其实我并未充分理解本书精髓,但被其中不少段落还是狠狠的晃了我的眼睛。 书摘我就不再做了,因为那些闪着智慧光芒的只言片语不管有多精彩,我注定记不住,注定会彻底忘光(以前的阅读经验已充分证实)。 此刻的我在房间...
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...
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...
super inspring,是可以枕边随时翻翻的handbook。scott young之前的study less learn more现在看起来基本上是这本书的note take。现在看英文的速度基本稳定在每分钟937字的速度,再快就理解不能了,果然大量阅读才是提速的标准,马克一下。
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。
评分书里的道理不复杂:保持学习,在培养技能/解决问题时“划小圈”。作者文笔很好,在国际象棋和太极间找到学习的共通点,从一个新角度讲老道理,对我还是有很大启发的。
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。
评分第一次尝试audio book, 居然是作者自己读的!心得牛逼,讲故事也很精到
