This is a wonderful book by the guy who was the subject of the movie Searching for Bobby Fischer. His name is Josh Waitzkin, and despite the over the top name of the book, it lives up to the hype. He really is the man, becoming a champion chess player and then a world champion martial artist.
The book is a nice balance of his pursuit of improvement in tournaments and the overlap between chess and martial arts. He then looks at the commonalities in the learning process for the two disciplines, and generalizes about the learning process. Lots to learn here, but I gave the book back to my dad, so I need to buy another copy soon.
