Do Less, Live More, Get Accepted
What if getting into your reach schools didn’t require four years of excessive A.P.-taking, overwhelming activity schedules, and constant stress?
In How to Be a High School Superstar, Cal Newport explores the world of relaxed superstars—students who scored spots at the nation’s top colleges by leading uncluttered, low stress, and authentic lives. Drawing from extensive interviews and cutting-edge science, Newport explains the surprising truths behind these superstars’ mixture of happiness and admissions success, including:
· Why doing less is the foundation for becoming more impressive.
· Why demonstrating passion is meaningless, but being interesting is crucial.
· Why accomplishments that are hard to explain are better than accomplishments that are hard to do.
These insights are accompanied by step-by-step instructions to help any student adopt the relaxed superstar lifestyle—proving that getting into college doesn’t have to be a chore to survive, but instead can be the reward for living a genuinely interesting life.
Cal Newport is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Georgetown University, and the author most recently of Deep Work, a book which argues that focus is the new I.Q. in the modern workplace, and So Good They Can’t Ignore You, a book which debunks the long-held belief that “follow your passion” is good advice. He has also written three popular books of unconventional advice for students. His ideas and writing are frequently featured in major publications and on TV and radio

評分我讀完大學工作之後,發現瞭一個問題,在學校裏考試成績在前10名的一般也沒有幾個混得有齣息,反而那些成績平平,平時不怎麼努力的學生踏入社會卻有自己的一套成功理論,並取得瞭某方麵的成功,於是我就想,學習的時候,成績隻是代錶瞭很少的一部分,一些比較聽話懂事的學生,...
評分雖然題目是《如何考進世界頂尖名校》,但其實都是在教人如何取得事業的成功。當然我們在市麵上能見到大量的這類指南,比如《好媽媽勝過好老師》等,自然要勝齣一籌的話,就需要有些獨到之處。比如本書就獨闢蹊徑地推齣“激情”與“興趣”,因為不管你情商如何,智商多高,最終...
