This is one of the best books I ever read. Simplifying everything was the most important thing I took from this. I actually studied chess the way he suggested in his book and it improved my game so much! Then i applied the same concept to so many other things. Another important take away was switching things up if your in a rut. I remember when he was having trouble solving a chess problem he went outside to sprint for a little bit. Then came back to solving his problem. Everyone is different in the way they solve problems. This books really opened up my eyes to that. Awesome work brother! :)
The first point in your video: "Describe the upper-left-hand brick of the opera house facade", is actually from another book: "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance". The teacher's name was Robert M. Pirsig or Pheadrus, the town, Bozeman Montana. The girl didn't find the town boring, as a matter of fact, the initial assignment was a 500 words essay about the United States. She couldn't think about anything to write. "She was not looking", to use Pirsig's words. Josh Waitzkin (not Waitzken), actually acknowledges that book as one of the 2 most pivotal readings of his life, together with the Dao de Jing... :).
Wow. Great job and great summary. I'm going to get this book. Even more excited it ties in philosophy from Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. What are your other top two books?
Thank you so much! It's hard to choose just two but here are a few -Think and Grow Rich -Way of the Superior Man -War of Art -4 Hour Workweek -Steal like an artist -Power of Now
Hi there, I was thinking if there were any way for you to let us see the full screen picture of the complete topic? These notes are very very great, and could probably help many people to actually learn & study your slides. Best greetings
Ok i dont get it ,...some new fancy zones? different to Cziksenmihaly flow types? Are these about working using grit, not a biofeedback sessions to train delta and theta flow ripples?
no such thing as smallx or strugx or not interesx or find or significanx or not about it, write, say/can write say any no matter what and any can be perfect. any be infinitely any interesx, big can be just inferiox

Thank you man! Yeah his depth of knowledge was really incredible. The hardest part was having to leave so much out to make the video watchable
You could always make a part 2 :)
Should be "Locus" of control
He did that on purpose to engage our pedantic and critical minds!
6:11 "You are now like a soft mushy bodied crab"
Is it weird it's not the first time I've been told that today?

Thank you for clarifying that! This was a really helpful comment. Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance is definitely one of the next on my list.
Thanks for the clarifying comment. Just ordered the book on Amazon to read next.
Locust of control.....I just imagined giant Pixar locust ruling over the the planet. Great vid...cheers!
Haha just one of those words I realized I was always saying wrong. Only I realized it after immortalizing it in a video :D
I have been struggling to perfect my chess openings, and this video really gave me a new perspective.
Really glad you enjoyed it! :)
Nice job! This is one of my favorite books, and I love how you distilled a couple of its key concepts visually. Look forward to more!
Ginger Jenks Thank you so much! :D
This channel is so underrated

Ok, time to practice CS on Garen.
Ok i dont get it ,...some new fancy zones? different to Cziksenmihaly flow types? Are these about working using grit, not a biofeedback sessions to train delta and theta flow ripples?
great vid
Very good and elocuent
Enrique Peña Nieto Thank you!
I don't want to be an anorexic crab. But if I was, I think my chances of not being boiled for someone's dinner would improve.
Everyone noticed you spelt locus wrong, but what about the bigger error - you spelt Josh's name wrong in the title screen. Waitzkin not Waitzken!
thats why I failed in school, i tried to cram in everything immediately
Exactly! I still have a tendency to do this even though I know better
I have Cognitive Dyspraxia. If I don't cram everything in immediately, it never goes in completely.
5:25 it's locus, not locust ! Lmao
I knowww lol. I will definitely redo this video soon
L O C U S T ???
Generic past 3:38
Take your opponent into a deep dark forest where 2 +2=5 and the path leading out is only wide enough for one
Tal quote. He was the ultimate chess badass.

Someone already mentioned it, but "locus," man! "Locus."
Totally took me out of the video.
Lol sorry man. One of these days I'll make a video without a typo
the 'locus' gives it personality :)
keep up the great work!
Thank you! I will try :)
@Jacob Shell although to be honest "locust of control" sounds totally awesome . I already imagining a queen locust which controls all our fates :-)
ThinkBigAnimation people are always blaming a "typo" for lack of vocabulary lol ....you actually SAID locust, not only spelled it
Do you think Michael Phelps is not gonna juice himself more just because his girlfriend left him?!
Was good until 4 min in
