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.

评分1、 先介绍一下作者,这是不祥的预兆,一篇又臭又长,又平庸又显摆的书评,往往这样开头的。还有大量关键情节,别说我没警告你。 截止现在,2011年1月4日。 作者,乔希.维茨金是个帅哥,33岁,活着,没谢顶。 其他介绍不怎么重要了,还是要敷衍的。 写这本书时...
评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...
评分看完这本书,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...
将技术细节、整体把控和可以控制的灵感结合到一起,就可以战无不胜。 实际操作和理念都讲的很清楚,难得的是就连灵感这种貌似捉摸不定的东西在这本书里也变得有迹可循。剩下的就是从最基础的细节开始实践。 没接触过象棋和太极没有关系,一通百通。
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Some good reflections and thought processes can be found. Not a book that could guide most people who are not as super talented as he is. Too much self-admiring and pride which impaired the book's credibility. Not recommended when you have better books to read.

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。
