Educated is an account of the struggle for self-invention. It is a tale of fierce family loyalty, and of the grief that comes from severing one’s closest ties. With the acute insight that distinguishes all great writers, Westover has crafted a universal coming-of-age story that gets to the heart of what an education is and what it offers: the perspective to see one’s life through new eyes, and the will to change it.
Tara Westover is an American author living in the UK. Born in Idaho to a father opposed to public education, she never attended school. She spent her days working in her father's junkyard or stewing herbs for her mother, a self-taught herbalist and midwife. She was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom, and after that first taste, she pursued learning for a decade. She graduated magna cum laude from Brigham Young University in 2008 and was subsequently awarded a Gates Cambridge Scholarship. She earned an MPhil from Trinity College, Cambridge in 2009, and in 2010 was a visiting fellow at Harvard University. She returned to Cambridge, where she was awarded a PhD in history in 2014.
低于预期吧,主要是有些书评捧得太狠了。 之前看了比尔盖茨的书评,让我以为这本书是一本可以教我们如何自学的书(或者起码给一些启发)。毕竟作者从未上过小学和中学,第一次上课时17岁,最后拿到了剑桥的PhD,但事实上却并非如此。 感觉这本书其实不是关于我们通常所说的教育...
评分我第一次踏上美国,是在八月份炭烤的天气中,肯尼迪机场的短暂停留之后,西南部亚利桑那州的沙漠里。 选校时,因为经济状况,很现实地去了能给最多奖学金的学校。坐落在凤凰城外贫穷的suburb, 被周围低矮房屋包围的,是一所号称排名第一的国际商学院,同学们来自50个国家。因...
评分 评分作者用非常平静的口吻按时间顺序描述自己从孩童时期到博士毕业这段时间的经历,但这种平静似乎并非来自基于聪慧加以磨练所致的成熟所流露出的冷静与平和,更像是出于某种很难描述的冷漠和麻木。一部类似成功者自传的书,其中内容只能算得上是成长历程中经历操蛋事情的碎碎念,...

Truly inspiring. My childhood was a walk in the park compared to hers.
评分说实话没觉得好震撼,觉得是个dramatic story。现在特别想读Dr. Jonathan Steinberg评价说是他在剑桥读过的最好的论文那篇文章。
评分客观的看待原生家庭的影响,通过教育明白自主选择的自由。
评分我觉得Tara的实际生活没有她书中描述那样的惊心动魄,而且后来她父母还那么有钱。。。很多情节感觉是为了写书而夸张的。总之,比较平淡的一本书。
评分读这本书其实很有共鸣。在美国刚开始读大学的经历和她刚进 BYU 的经历很多相似之处,遇到了关心、欣赏我的教授而改变了自己的成长轨迹。也是上了大学之后才逐渐 confront 了自己成长过程中经历的 abuse。当然作者的经历更传奇。
