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.

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、...

should we smash a system from outside or alternate it from within?
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“The system manufactures students who are smart and talented and driven, yes, but also anxious, timid, and lost, with little intellectual curiosity and a stunted sense of purpose: trapped in a bubble of privilege, heading meekly in the same direction, great at what they’re doing but with no idea why they’re doing it.”
评分so what?
评分觀點很好，可是現實很骨感。
