The Art of Learning : a journey in the pursuit of excellence - WAITZKIN (New York : Free Press, 2007)
The Art of Learning takes readers through the author's unique journey to excellence. He explains in clear detail how a well-thought-out, principle approach to learning is what separates success from failure. He 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 climatic wins, the author 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.
