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.

改變教育觀念的書《天纔的基因》 之前看過一本《一萬小時天纔理論》和這本書有點類似,不過感覺沒這麼震撼。一個人的人生到底是由先天決定的還是由後天決定的,這是一個很重要的問題,如果說先天的基因占重要地位,那麼我們就應該因勢利導,順其自然的去培養,如果說後天...
