Another great thread Amit!! Here's my recommendation :
One of my favourite books : The Art of Learning: An Inner Journey to Optimal Performance By Josh Waitzkin
Josh Waitzkin won the National Chess Championship when 9 years old, and had a movie made on him by the name of 'Searching for Bobby Fischer' followed by lot of media attention... this suppozedly led him to a breaking point. Later, playing in the final of world junior chess chanmpionship, instead of logically accepting a draw which would have made him a joint title, (due to expectations built up) he fought on only to lose. Later, Josh took a break from Chess, to focus on the the martial art Tai Chi Chuan, which he won the world champion title. The story is about a talented kid and a chess prodigy mastering another entirely different filed of physical combat and reach its pinnacle. An insightful book of 'learning how to learn' and be able to master a new field.... a true and inspiring story of Josh Waitzkin. An interesting book and a must read for anybody looking to achieve peak perfomance.
