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.

读后感
“你为什么想考研啊？” “为了以后工资高一点啊。” “那你们那研究生工资和本科生差别很大吗？” “好像不是特别大呢。” “那还不如不考呢，这样还可以节省支出，并早点减轻家里负担呢。反正只是为了工作，现在学历的影响也不是那么大了，主要还是看能力。” …… 在没上大...
评分我在Kindle上看的第二本书，也是近期来所读过的最好的一本书。本来是想闲暇碎片时间读读，结果开始之后就手不释卷，一天半看完。 此书是对美国精英教育的批评。作者在耶鲁英文系教了上十年的书，书中用了很多耶鲁的例子。他关于此话题的一篇文章在杂志上发表之后，反响很大，收...
评分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...
评分多年前，我还在上大一，读了一本书，叫做《北大毕业等于零》，这本书震撼着当时刚刚被985院校录取的我，至今还可以感受到这本书带来的余震。那本书，对于刚入大学的我，无疑是当头喝棒，让我重新思考上大学的意义。 最近，阅读了一位耶鲁大学教授写的书《优秀的绵羊》，再一次...
评分创造自我、认识是自我、培养独立的思辨能力是每个家庭教育的追求。但究竟应从何下手呢？大学又能够提供什么呢？以人文为中心、由敬业的教授主导的小班教学，就是博雅教育。 简单来讲，博雅教育追求的是学识本身，即一种纯净的求学理念，而非为了任何形式的实用性回报。 一、...
用户评价
精致的利己主义者的说法是不对的，他们是遵循社会的规范（或游戏规则）而努力回应社会体制设计思路的期待，并致力于成为中产阶层的成功人士、精英。这些优秀的常春藤羊群才是社会稳定与统一的整合者，他们的表率性也是整个社会在理所当然期待的东西
评分so what?
评分揭露了美国大学体制存在的诸多问题。对通识教育和以就业为导向的教育的讨论深入到人生意义等宏大的话题。书中的另一个重点是透彻地分析当前体制对富人和中产阶级越来越有利。遗憾地是这种现状很难被改变。NBA可以靠选秀平衡各队实力，但社会阶层的调整实在是太困难。
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.
评分should we smash a system from outside or alternate it from within?
