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.
这是一本讲述作者学习经历的书。作者将自己的学习心得娓娓道来,似乎一切都是必然,让你不得不赞叹。 1. 学习的过程 学习的过程是吸收,运用,遗忘的过程。先是高效的将各种主题进行学习,运用到实际当中去。在有了一定的使用经验后,就需要对主题进行抽丝剥茧,进行分割组块,...
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...
评分伴随着一句半梦半醒的话,今天早上我醒来了,嘴里不自觉的念叨着:一切从心开始。所以今天决定写下这本书给我的灵感。 我用书里教的实践了下。游蛙泳。我过去游泳速度很快,但是很累。像冲刺一样,呼吸也调节不过来。后来按照书中讲的先"划小圈"。 首先让腿去找感觉,让手去...
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...
作者讲的更多是感受,甚至不能称为方法论,借鉴意义不大……想到纪昌学箭,远处的小虱子在他眼里就像车轮这么大。
评分读起来非常轻松 可能会读第二遍 第一遍没记笔记
评分用中文把这本书将给别人听的时候才发现,自己没有完全吸收,不过是复述作者的文字。我觉得很好看,看的时候,努力排除其他杂念、一边和作者的思路流动、一边反思自己要做的事。参加过辩论比赛、打酱油过演讲比赛。每次仰望大神的时候,也在思考自己和他们的差距在哪里。不能因为自己平庸而拒绝仰望与学习。也有人会说,不过是在炫耀自己的成就。就我而言,觉得幸运,作者如此坦诚,把自己的思考分享出来。这本书the art of learning,想不到其他更好的标题,英语的learning包含了术与道。在思维最混乱,被杂念堵塞,没办法专注准备重要的事情的时候,这本书可以说是醍醐灌顶和取之不尽。很容易拾人牙慧,所以还是等把从本书得到的思考融入到自己的生活再来写长评吧。
评分nathan推荐我读的……真的对这类书都十分无感……
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
