Josh Waitzkin knows what it means to be at the top of his art. A public figure since winning his first national 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 in an important film. After dominating the chess world school 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 summit of two fields on the surface seem so different? "I realized that what I am best at is not Tai Chi, and it is not chess," he said. "What I am is the best art to learn." In his fascinating 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 up - twice. With a narrative that combines the breathtaking 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 unique journey to the Excellence.
