Conference Call Details
Agenda
You don’t get to be an eight-time national chess champion and a world martial arts champion without knowing how to learn. Josh Waitzkin talks with us all about how to learn what you need to learn faster and with more ease.

Josh Waitzkin, an eight-time National Chess Champion in his youth, was the subject of the book and movie Searching for Bobby Fischer. At eighteen, he published his first book, Josh Waitzkin's Attacking Chess.

Since the age of twenty, he has developed and been spokesperson for Chessmaster, the largest computer chess program in the world, currently in its eleventh edition. Now a martial arts champion, he holds a combined twenty-one National Championship titles in addition to several World Champion titles. He is the president of the JW Foundation, which helps struggling youths with the learning process, and regularly gives seminars and keynote presentations.

REMINDER: PLEASE TRY TO JOIN 15 MINUTES BEFORE THE CALL. LINES WILL FILL.

that's learning the rubix cube by rote instead of learning to solve the puzzle
Your passion for learning makes me want to go back to school, Josh.

Your opinion..if there is time...I teach preparatory college English. My students get angry with me because I change the rules. I am not teaching the same class they have repeated since grade school. On their first paper I correct their errors and ask them to graph the corrections. To make them look at their writing in a different way. Will their anger stop them from learning..or will taking them out of the pattern help them learn in spite of their discomfort.
