Book Reviews of The Art of Learning: An Inner Journey to Optimal Performance
Book Review: "The only thing we can really count on is getting surprised"
Summary: 5 Stars
This quote rings like a clear bell on the final page of Josh Waitzkin's book. Why? His "Art of Learning" not a static prescription, it's is dynamic journey. Within Josh's frameworks, learning means continually exploring oneself, re-framing adversity and despair as opportunities for self-awareness and discovery, to find for connectedness between seemingly unrelated disciplines - in Josh's case, chess and martial arts.
If you enjoy chess or martial arts, there's much great storytelling and competition here to relate to. If you're a lifelong learner inclined to self-study, there's much "philosophy of being" to take or leave as you like.
A joy overall.
