Recenzii
Profound ... Part memoir, part guide to living
At a time when we urgently need new ways to think about the challenge of creating a meaningful life - far more than we need conventional self-help advice - Jonathan Rowson has written a powerfully unconventional and mind-expanding book ... A generous, nuanced and witty meditation on confronting the challenges life throws at us all
Terrific . What a beautiful, thoughtful work. I see thinking in a fresh light. I see my own life in a fresh light as well
One comes away feeling better able to navigate not so much a chessboard but the world outside it
A remarkable, highly original and personal book, unlike anything else you have ever read, packed with wisdom about life. You need to know next to nothing about chess to enjoy it and to want to keep coming back for more
Rowson's is an unusual, important voice and perspective on our times: a humane thinker deeply interested in the implications of technology; an expert constantly probing at the limits of expertise ... A wise, surprising and uplifting book
A fascinating insight into how top chess players think
