As I m sure many of you know I am an avid reader, mainly of books in the personal development genre, but many of them lately I would have to say fall into a more specific category of peak performance development. Not just my reading list, by audio programs I listen to, such as those by speakers like Tony Robbins and Les Brown. Anyway, my latest read is The Art of Learning: An Inner Journey to Optimal Performance, written by Josh Waizkin, world champion in both Tai Chi Push Hands and chess, as well as the main character in the movie Searching For Bobby Fisher. Josh s story is truly inspiring, but it has been one of the most educational books I have ever read as well. Let s hope so, given the name, right? Much of what Josh discusses is about emotional awareness, and how those who lose themselves in their emotions, i.e. those who get too angry to perform well under pressure, tend to get eaten alive by those who can either keep cool under pressure or use their passion to their advantage.
