Embracing adversity, not avoiding it
Embracing adversity, not avoiding it Waitzkin asserts that learning is a struggle, not a comfort. He urges learners to face their fears and weaknesses, rather than running away from them. He also advises learners to use stress and pressure as opportunities to grow, rather than as threats to avoid. He also stresses the value of resilience, perseverance, and grit in learning.

IDEAS CURATED BY
I am a book lover who enjoys reading and learning from different genres and topics. I am always curious and eager to expand my knowledge and perspective through books. I like to challenge myself with books that are complex, insightful, and thought-provokin
These ideas are important to me because they can help me learn better and achieve more in life. They can help me enjoy the journey, not the destination, of learning; be creative, not mechanical, in expressing myself and improving my performance; face difficulties, not avoiding them, and grow stronger and more resilient; and get in the zone, not losing it, and be more productive and focused in learning.
