Description
The Art of Learning: An Inner Journey to Optimal Performance
Josh Waitzkin shares his remarkable story of personal achievement and the principles of learning and performance that have propelled him to the top twice. A public figure since winning his first National Chess Championship at nine, Waitzkin's journey to excellence is one of heart-stopping martial arts wars and tense chess face-offs, combined with life lessons that speak to all of us.
Waitzkin reveals how a well-thought-out, principled approach to learning is what separates success from failure, and how achievement is a function of a lifestyle that fuels a creative, resilient growth process. He explains how to trigger intuitive breakthroughs, hone techniques into states of remarkable potency, and master the art of performance psychology.
