LESSONS FROM THE ART OF
JUGGLING
Do you want to learn how to juggle? Do you want to learn
how to learn? If the answer is yes to both of those questions,
then Lessons from the Art of Juggling by Michael J. Gelb
and Tony Buzan is the book for you. It helps you realise that
learning is a rewarding and joyful process and that your
potential for learning is virtually unlimited. You will also be
pleased to hear that your ability to learn can actually
improve as you get older. One of the reasons that we hold
back from trying to learn something new is that we are
scared of making a mistake. Guess what? It is okay to make
mistakes because by making mistakes, we actually learn. So
if you make more mistakes, you are actually learning more.
But what has this got to do with juggling? Well you try and
learn to juggle without dropping the ball. If you are not
dropping the ball, you are not making progress because the
nature of learning is a series of apparent "set backs"
interwoven with plateaus of skill stagnation and the joyous
bursts of sharp improvement and steady progress. If you
don't want to learn how to juggle you can still gain
something from this book because the juggling is just a
metaphor used to illustrate the learning process. This book
covers how to use models of excellence, the power of
visualization, the process of trial and error, how to become a
successful coach and the importance of play in the learning
process. If however, you do want to learn to juggle using this
book, persevere with the explanations and diagrams because
it is always a struggle to learn a physical activity from the
written word. If you know someone who can juggle, get him
or her to demonstrate what is being described so that you
can see how it should be done - otherwise, prepare to be
frustrated.
Lessons from the Art of Juggling by Michael J. Gelb and
Tony Buzan is published by Aurum Press (ISBN 1 85410
324 5) and is available from all good book shops at £9.99.
