Finding the zone, not losing it
Waitzkin explains that learning is a state of mind, not a state of being. He teaches learners how to achieve and maintain a state of optimal focus and flow, where they are fully immersed and engaged in their activity. He also instructs learners how to deal with distractions, interruptions, and emotions that can disrupt their concentration. He also emphasizes the role of meditation, relaxation, and breathing 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.
