The Art of Learning: An Inner Journey to Optimal Performance

Chess and martial arts champion Josh Waitzkin lays out his battle-tested principles of learning and performance to give readers tools for excellence and success. In THE ART OF LEARNING,Waitzkin offers an inside look at two of the world''s most intense subcultures while also sharing the principles at the core of his success. One must focus on long-term goals, Waitzkin argues, instead of the immediate thrill of victory or crush of defeat, enduring the difficult periods that result in growth to reach higher levels of achievement.

As the details of his life are unfolding, Waitzkin explains how these principles apply to his own story, creating a narrative that is as inspiring and instructional as it is gripping.
