戴維•申剋,美國著名作傢,迄今共齣版瞭5本書,其中包含《失憶》、《信息煙塵》(被稱為數字時代的《寂靜的春天》)與《不朽的棋局》。他目前擔任《大西洋月刊》的通訊記者,同時也替各大雜誌、電颱撰稿,如《紐約時報》、《國傢地理》、《紐約客》、《連綫》、美國國傢公共廣播電颱等。
With irresistibly persuasive vigor, David Shenk debunks the long-standing notion of genetic “giftedness,” and presents dazzling new scientific research showing how greatness is in the reach of every individual.
DNA does not make us who we are. “Forget everything you think you know about genes, talent, and intelligence,” he writes. “In recent years, a mountain of scientific evidence has emerged suggesting a completely new paradigm: not talent scarcity, but latent talent abundance.”
Integrating cutting-edge research from a wide swath of disciplines—cognitive science, genetics, biology, child development—Shenk offers a highly optimistic new view of human potential. The problem isn't our inadequate genetic assets, but our inability, so far, to tap into what we already have. IQ testing and widespread acceptance of “innate” abilities have created an unnecessarily pessimistic view of humanity—and fostered much misdirected public policy, especially in education.
The truth is much more exciting. Genes are not a “blueprint” that bless some with greatness and doom most of us to mediocrity or worse. Rather our individual destinies are a product of the complex interplay between genes and outside stimuli-a dynamic that we, as people and as parents, can influence.
This is a revolutionary and optimistic message. We are not prisoners of our DNA. We all have the potential for greatness.

評分两年前的一个午后,我沐浴着暖阳独坐在福州西湖一个露天咖啡座里。当杯中蓝山一寸寸浅去直至空留唇印时,手上的《异类》和《哪来的天才》刚好翻完。此时,南国最后一抹斜阳穿过柳梢映照在金鳞摇曳的湖面。我起身伸了个懒腰,凝望着对岸湖边渐次点亮的霓虹灯。小野丽莎慵懒的呢...
評分改变教育观念的书《天才的基因》 之前看过一本《一万小时天才理论》和这本书有点类似,不过感觉没这么震撼。一个人的人生到底是由先天决定的还是由后天决定的,这是一个很重要的问题,如果说先天的基因占重要地位,那么我们就应该因势利导,顺其自然的去培养,如果说后天...
評分——木木勺 【不是那块料】 从小学到初中,我的很多同学都辍学了。经常是上课的时候,大家发现好几天没来学校的一个孩子来搬走了自己的凳子,后来就听说出去打工了。 他们不上学的理由通常就一条,不是念书的那块料。 家长在说服孩子的时候大概就会说,你爹我小时候上学就...
