This convo was sparked due to Juan reading Josh Waitzkin's 'The Art Of Learning'.

In Episode #256 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: the tai chi championship Josh Waitzkin competed in, examples of how we chose to learn different depending on the context, the difference between acquiring fast knowledge vs mastering a skill, why we can learn more quickly than younger versions of ourselves, the Kyrin approved general learning process and the Japanese martial art method of the stages to mastery.

As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
