The Art of Learning Full - Audio Book

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.

Could you please keep going? This is not full :(

[@renehenriksen1735]

Josh Waitzkin >>>> I fully understand your newfound passion for Tao Te Ching by Laotzu. Have you also tried Chuangtzu´s works? In my native language they´re called "The soul and the butterfly" and "The mind goes North"? Just curious. Maybe you´ve also seeked wisdom in zenbuddhist learning?

[@ilovebyungsoo]

Allan johnsen You are right. I purchased the full version of the audiobook, which is 7 hours 55 minutes long.

[@CozyBear_29]

NOT FULL AUDIO. true

[@IuliusAnacyclus]

The title is misleading. There is nothing about learning just a autobiography

[@Vitorruy1]

Did you read the rest of the book?

[@mairalana]

It's a great and quite technical as much as an intuitive book about the learning process, with many other sources and theories included. If you find the whole book, don't hesitate and read it. It worths it.

Is it a rule in America that you have to take as long as possible to get to the point?

Tooooo long. The whole thing can be wrapped up in 10 minutes

Josh's apology for abandoning chess. Can't blame him though, the game is pretty pointless.

[@alainchouinard9256]

chess is not pointless it s the challenge to understand the mind of youre opponent great stuff chess RULE

[@MrLeo3780]

he was not going to make GM that's why he left the circuit was to hard

[@MrLeo3780]

I look at has games in chessbase vs GM he had no chance

[@wnd9434]

@@MrLeo3780 he probably hit a plateau but its more like he like learning process so much that hinder his potential. For example he dislike studying opening and pure memorization that could stop improving in chess. But to say he doesn't have chance is wrong. He beat a lot of GM like kaidanov, lputian, Roman dzindzi. And he beat in the bread butter of GM which is the endgame. Known IM like eric rosen or levy rozman doesn't have chance is possible because they cant beat regular GM. Even his peer in junior World championship all of the become GM so he should be in the same class but he decided to stop chess and that his decision.

[@yeeluvspizza]

​@@MrLeo3780WRONG. Josh was the top young player in the U.S. when a movie was made about him. The movie's success exponentially increased the already huge amount of pressure he had on himself. That's why he quit the game.
