The Radical Joy of Being a Beginner Again
Picture this: I'm sitting in a New York City chess club, heart racing, trying to project menace across the board. My opponent and I shake hands. I'm channeling psychological warfare when a woman appears with chocolate milk-for my opponent Ryan, who is eight years old. Thirty moves later, he dispatches me with ease. This humbling experience was part of my deliberate journey into "beginnerdom"-learning chess alongside my daughter, who eventually surpassed me despite our four-decade age gap. There's something radical about choosing to be a beginner again in our achievement-obsessed culture. The proposition is simple yet transformative: learning new skills as an adult isn't just possible but essential-not because you'll master them, but because the very act of being a beginner reignites joy, curiosity, and neural pathways you thought were closed forever. When was the last time you learned something completely new? Most parents dutifully shuttle children between piano lessons, soccer practice, and coding camps while never engaging in learning themselves. When I asked chess parents if they played, most responded with apologetic shrugs. If chess was so beneficial for children's development, why were adults avoiding it? I realized I'd spent years acquiring "knowing that" knowledge as a journalist while neglecting "knowing how"-procedural skills that engage different parts of the brain.
