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.
天才、疯子、白痴。 哥德巴赫(18世纪著名数学家,提出“哥德巴赫猜想”,给后世人带来巨大的数学乃至哲学难题)、约翰•纳什(精神分裂症患者,电影《美丽心灵》原型,诺贝尔经济学奖得主)、丹尼尔•塔曼特(自闭症患者,能背诵圆周率过小数点后2万位)。 所谓“天才”、...
評分 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...
評分中国有句老话说, 龙生龙、凤生凤、老鼠生来会打洞。 一直以来,从我们所接受到教育和所汲取的知识,都在告诉我们,我们的身体特征、性格和能力,甚至于我们的智力,无一不是继承了我们父母DNA里遗传基因,换句话说,是基因决定了我们是谁。相比环境对于我们的成长所...
評分人类历史中那些出类拔萃的天才人物,为何能拥有常人无法取得的成就,这个长期未解的谜团给传媒、传记作家们巨大的创作空间,在他们笔下,让天赋遗传的差异成为决定个人成就决定因素,如同国际贸易领域的资源禀赋论点一样,被看成是上天的恩赐。 世俗观点看来,莫扎特之所以成...
