Though not quite what I was expecting (more of an advice book on approaching the learning process and pursuing self-growth), this is an excellent memoir/philosophical book about the author's journey from a chess champion to tai chi martial arts champion, and the parallels he draws between his training of the two. Those who are fans of books such as Malcolm Gladwell's "Outliers" will appreciate this book written by an undeniable outlier not only in one field, but in two seemingly unrelated ones. However, Waitzkin points out the similarities between his preparation for competing in tai chi as well as chess, and outlines the pitfalls he faced early in his career (allowing himself to be affected by mind games, becoming easily flustered, having difficulty maintaining focus) and how he remedied them. It was interesting to read about his journey unfold as he matured into an adult and began pursuing martial arts, and how the calm, focused demeanor he developed helped him realize how to learn and grow more efficiently. It is inspiring to read, but those looking for an advice book will find the advice buried deeply in metaphor.
Reading through some of the low reviews, I didn't know what to expect going into this book. Some people felt that it was too much of an autobiographical book, bragging about his accomplishments in chess and martial arts with little to do with actual techniques on learning.I'm very glad that I picked up this book, because it has truly inspired me.What people are missing is that Josh is not bragging about the level he achieved in chess. The point he was making was that, even though he was a child chess prodigy, the style of learning and teaching had held him back from being the very best in his profession. Having been paired up with coaches that taught chess in a very rigid and forceful way, and not being able to deal with the stress of change or pressure eventually became overwhelming to him. It was only later in his life when he took on martial arts that he was able to apply his own theories and philosophies on learning, taking micro to macro steps, cultivating a foundation for learning rather then forcing structure. Through his experiment on self learning, he was able to take a brand new skill set, and evolve into a world level competitor in a shockingly short amount of time.I know that everybody can benefit from this book and it's contents. It really does have the formula to take you from mediocre to a high level performer but be warned, the techniques are not a quick fix solution. It's about taking a skill set, breaking it down to simple steps, then breaking down the simple steps down into micro steps (micro steps being the foundation of the skill sets) and then practicing those micro steps to perfection before moving back to the macro steps and so fourth where you can finally put everything together.If you are looking to develop you skills or talent in your career, a martial artist, a musician etc.. it's about breaking apart everything you know, and starting over from the foundation-up to build the steps that will eventually help you evolve into a top performer.
A catchy title, but this book is mostly about how the author went through countless numbers of international tournaments outsmarting his opponents. Although the life of a 29-year-old chess master and Tai Chi champion is fascinating and can be inspirational for some people, the book rarely touches on the principles and methods of learning. If you are searching for the Art of Tai Chi and Optimal Performance, I would recommend Dan Milman’s Body Mind Mastery or Ways of Peaceful Warrior, Ken Cohen’s The Way of Qigong, Jim Loehr’s The Power of Full Engagement, Mark Cohen’s Inside Zhan Zhuang, and Don Greene’s Performance Success.
The book is truly engaging. This is non-fiction, and I read it through in one sitting. I was fascinated by Josh Waitzkin's experiences in chess and in Tai Chi, especially by how he used the lessons learned in each discipline to inform his perception and understanding in the other. I'm handing these out like popcorn to anyone I think will enjoy the book. His attentiveness to his life experience and the essential understandings he draws from them are compelling. Personally, I hope to make active use of his insights in my own life. Thank you, Mr. Waitzkin.
the only thing 'the art of learning' has taught me is that i ought to read negative reviews prior to purchasing any book.personally, i don't have much respect for tai chi in terms of it being an effective martial arts for self-defense, but josh waitzkin is also a marcelo garcia black belt in brazilian jiu jitsu which is no accolade to scoff at. between that and his chess accomplishments i expected some insightful approaches to learning, but it's honestly a boring memoir w/ mediocre writing.do yourself a favor and skim through the 1 star reviews as they sum up my sentiment on this book pretty well. deceptive title, no groundbreaking insights on learning. you'll see mine posted up and available on the 'used books' section soon enough.
This is really a personal account on how the author has learned his "art" and overcame his physical and mental limitations. This first part of the book, having to do with his chess years are the more interesting, in my opinion. The second half of the book, having to do with his Tai Chi years seems too long and frankly, a bit boring.Choprah's self serving sales pitch in the back cover, "do less and accomplish more" makes no sense. Waitzkin, did the exact opposite, he plunged thousands of hours into what he loved body and soul.
