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
1 棍子 去年夏天，老婆第一次参加闺女的家长会，回来之后就着急上火，口腔溃疡了好几天。原来，一年级刚入学的时候，学校就测试了孩子们的识字水平，有的孩子一上来就过了10级，成了“识字大王”，而我们家闺女连1级都没过。 我大吃一惊：6岁就认识2000多个字啊，这得多聪明...
评分我的儿子才4岁，虽然离读大学还很早很早，可是，应该教给他什么，让他学习什么，却早已开始困扰我们。 我们在最开始选择幼儿园的时候，几乎看了我们附近的所有幼儿园，从同一个小区里的双语国际幼儿园，看到了开车超过40分钟的国学幼儿园。不管哪个幼儿园，我们总都是觉得有不...
评分春天来了，夏天也近了，六月快到了，又迎来了毕业季。回想起自己当年毕业之际，充满着深深的无助和迷茫。高考填志愿的时候，听从了家人的建议，选择了他们口中“好就业”的工作。 大学这几年，学着一些云里雾里的专业课，临近毕业，依然不知道自己要找什么样的工作，甚至都忘记...
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...
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should we smash a system from outside or alternate it from within?
评分这不就我说的“去波士顿但别当波士顿人”嘛……考上名校是个人能力的体现，终归不是件坏事，打着这个招牌到处当troll才是值得吐槽的吧。传送 http://libgen.org/get?md5=1c02f9853cf907f22218bc863fe9087d
评分和作者2008年那篇the disadvantage of elite education相比，这本没有那么sharp，拖拖拉拉了好几个礼拜才读完，中间溜出去读了几本其他的书。有一些思考的地方，但是没啥特别的。
