I just finished reading it a few days ago. <BR/><BR/>Josh has put a lot of time into training himself for peak psychological performance in chess and martial arts. His ideas are definitely applicable to practitioners of any art.Andy Fossetthttp://www.taidoblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30500538.post-17012735911995962422009-02-03T02:50:00.000-06:002009-02-03T02:50:00.000-06:00Fabulous interview -- almost a continuous highligh...Fabulous interview -- almost a continuous highlight reel -- and very well interviewed.<BR/><BR/>One example from the excellent Q&A section starting at around the 40 minute mark: Josh describes how he broke his hand with 40 seconds to go in the taijiquan world championship, subjective time slowed down, and consequently he was able to win easily "with one hand". But the highlight was that rather than be thrilled with this peak experience (or annoyed by the breaking of his hand) he subsequently spent a long time figuring out how to "slow down time at will, without breaking a limb to do it" and the viewer is referred to his book for the details!Dan Pragerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14234352019207324148noreply@blogger.com
