Hi Grinity,
Naturally I thought I knew all about Josh Waitzkin from the "Searching for Bobby Fischer" story, but somehow I completely missed that he wrote this book. Perhaps it is because I think of Josh's story as a cautionary tale about a profoundly gifted chess player who burned out and therefore never achieved his potential as an adult.
I see now that he shifted gears and became very successful in the martial arts. I will put "The Art of Learning" on my reading list for the Christmas holidays and I will let you know.
