Summary of josh waitzkin's the art of learning

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had a passion for Spider-Man, sharks, dinosaurs, sports, and driving my parents crazy with mischief. I was constantly pestered to throw around a football or baseball. I had an early attraction to the edge. #2 I became a protégé of the street, hard to rattle, a feisty competitor. I loved the thrill of battle, and I would play countless speed chess games hour after hour staring through the jungle of pieces. #3 I was a star in the little world of chess, and I enjoyed the attention. But I also had to deal with the crowds around the table, which made it difficult to concentrate. I learned that when I was well focused, I could play well. #4 I was a difficult student to teach. I was a talented kid with good instincts, and I had been beating up on street hustlers who lacked classical training. Now it was time to slow me down and properly arm my intuition, but Bruce had to tread a fine line between being authoritarian and not dampening my love for chess.
