具體描述
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.

讀後感
春天來瞭，夏天也近瞭，六月快到瞭，又迎來瞭畢業季。迴想起自己當年畢業之際，充滿著深深的無助和迷茫。高考填誌願的時候，聽從瞭傢人的建議，選擇瞭他們口中“好就業”的工作。 大學這幾年，學著一些雲裏霧裏的專業課，臨近畢業，依然不知道自己要找什麼樣的工作，甚至都忘記...
評分大學是成年生活初期最自由的時間段，它給每位學子提供瞭一次真正思考的機會：遠離社會、暫時擺脫來自傢庭影響和職業規劃的束縛，站在遠處以純淨並批判的眼光審視整個世界，通過大量閱讀、習慣思考，放緩腳步，投入深度對話，並為自己創建一個豐滿的精神世界。 但是，很多人報考...
評分1 棍子 去年夏天，老婆第一次參加閨女的傢長會，迴來之後就著急上火，口腔潰瘍瞭好幾天。原來，一年級剛入學的時候，學校就測試瞭孩子們的識字水平，有的孩子一上來就過瞭10級，成瞭“識字大王”，而我們傢閨女連1級都沒過。 我大吃一驚：6歲就認識2000多個字啊，這得多聰明...
評分“有一次，我去裏德學院一堂政治課上旁聽，我發現課堂上討論的質量非常高，對思維探索非常嚴肅，比常春藤學校不知好齣多少。這種人文學院不怎麼關注排名，不把自己視為職業培訓的場所，而這裏的四年，你可以暫時脫離現實，一心一意訓練自己的大腦，培養自己的價值觀。” 作者...
評分用戶評價
should we smash a system from outside or alternate it from within?
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.”
评分覺得這個書從一開始就有一點三觀不閤。總是有一種何不食肉糜的感覺。作者強調畢業的時候精英教育下的學生擇業的狹窄性，並鼓勵大傢去追求夢想追求小眾。但是作者講述的大部分人這麼選擇的原因：擁有更多下一步選擇的權利，我覺得其實是很適用於大部分大學畢業沒有特定世界觀的小本的。選擇安全感隨大流也沒有什麼錯，一味標新立異可能更容易誤入歧途或者白白浪費時間，不過作者硬是要解釋成這就是熱愛與夢想，就給人一種經典的隻在意上層建築卻不考慮物質基礎的經典美國中産精英論調的感覺。不能為瞭diversity而diversity啊。拋問題拋的很切實際，可是提齣的解決方案太狹窄並理想化。
评分都是些老生常談的問題瞭，我覺得追究下二戰後美國大學沒有為世界貢獻幾個原創性思想傢纔是關鍵
评分精英型教育是全球通病
