A groundbreaking manifesto for people searching for the kind of insight on leading, thinking, and living that elite schools should be—but aren’t—providing.
As a professor at Yale, Bill Deresiewicz saw something that troubled him deeply. His students, some of the nation’s brightest minds, were adrift when it came to the big questions: how to think critically and creatively, and how to find a sense of purpose.
Excellent Sheep takes a sharp look at the high-pressure conveyor belt that begins with parents and counselors who demand perfect grades and culminates in the skewed applications Deresiewicz saw firsthand as a member of Yale’s admissions committee. As schools shift focus from the humanities to "practical" subjects like economics and computer science, students are losing the ability to think in innovative ways. Deresiewicz explains how college should be a time for self-discovery, when students can establish their own values and measures of success, so they can forge their own path. He addresses parents, students, educators, and anyone who's interested in the direction of American society, featuring quotes from real students and graduates he has corresponded with over the years, candidly exposing where the system is broken and clearly presenting solutions.
具體描述
讀後感
大学是成年生活初期最自由的时间段，它给每位学子提供了一次真正思考的机会：远离社会、暂时摆脱来自家庭影响和职业规划的束缚，站在远处以纯净并批判的眼光审视整个世界，通过大量阅读、习惯思考，放缓脚步，投入深度对话，并为自己创建一个丰满的精神世界。 但是，很多人报考...
評分2014年七月，前耶鲁大学教授威廉·德雷谢维奇（William Deresiewicz)在《新共和》上撰文“别送你的孩子上常青藤：美国的顶尖学府把你的孩子变成僵尸”，引起轰动。此文网络版据称是《新共和》杂志有史以来点击率最高的文章。此文也在美国名校中引起了一系列的反思和反驳。 此...
評分 評分 評分在美国我发现，追求上常青藤的华人家长很多。常青藤学校是指布朗大学、哥伦比亚大学、康奈尔大学、达特茅斯学院、哈佛大学、普林斯顿大学、宾夕法尼亚大学和耶鲁大学。这八所大学都在美国东北。其他很多地方也有一些名校，如德州的莱斯大学、加州的斯坦福大学、佐治亚的埃默里...
用戶評價
覺得這個書從一開始就有一點三觀不閤。總是有一種何不食肉糜的感覺。作者強調畢業的時候精英教育下的學生擇業的狹窄性，並鼓勵大傢去追求夢想追求小眾。但是作者講述的大部分人這麼選擇的原因：擁有更多下一步選擇的權利，我覺得其實是很適用於大部分大學畢業沒有特定世界觀的小本的。選擇安全感隨大流也沒有什麼錯，一味標新立異可能更容易誤入歧途或者白白浪費時間，不過作者硬是要解釋成這就是熱愛與夢想，就給人一種經典的隻在意上層建築卻不考慮物質基礎的經典美國中産精英論調的感覺。不能為瞭diversity而diversity啊。拋問題拋的很切實際，可是提齣的解決方案太狹窄並理想化。
评分精緻的利己主義者的說法是不對的，他們是遵循社會的規範（或遊戲規則）而努力迴應社會體製設計思路的期待，並緻力於成為中産階層的成功人士、精英。這些優秀的常春藤羊群纔是社會穩定與統一的整閤者，他們的錶率性也是整個社會在理所當然期待的東西
评分3.5星吧，指齣的很多地方的確有問題，但一來有些重復，二來有些地方Liberal Arts的傾嚮太濃重
评分Excellent book. I agree with the author that "learn to learn" and "finding yourself" are the most important things in college education and probably require a lot of years after college. An excellent sheep is still a sheep.
