为什么值得读
- 基于作者在耶鲁大学的实际教学经历
- 揭示精英教育导致的非个体化与反智倾向
- 直面名校学生停不下来的盲目内卷
本书是一份极具突破性的宣言，探讨了美国顶尖名校理应提供、却未能提供的一切：“这位前耶鲁大学教授有力地抨击了精英名校、聪明却缺乏灵魂的学生（所谓的‘优秀的绵羊’）、步步紧逼的家长，以及混乱的大学录取机制”（《People》杂志评论）。在耶鲁大学任教期间，William Deresiewicz看到了一些让他深感不安的现象。他的学生们虽是全美最聪慧的人才，但在面对重大问题时却显得迷茫无措：诸如如何批判性与创造性地思考，以及如何找寻人生意义。如今他指出，精英名校正在流水线般培养出毫无个性的顺从者

……是他们主导了所有的讨论。我没在耶鲁教过书，也从未在文化类似的学校教过，所以我没法评价那里的氛围，但 William Deresiewicz 教过，他的书《优秀绵羊》（Excellent Sheep: The Miseducation of the American Elite and the Way to a Meaningful Life）就是由此写出来的，我很推荐。他的另一本书《简·奥斯汀的教育》（A Jane Austen Education，http://jakeseliger.com/tag/a-jane-austen-education-how-six-n...）……
…who drive all the discourse. I don't teach at Yale and have never taught at Yale or schools with similar cultures, so I can't speak to the environment there, but William Deresiewicz did, and his book Excellent Sheep: The Miseducation of the American Elite and the Way to a Meaningful Life came out of that and I recommend it.

……在那些没有经过美国大学/学术界洗脑机器洗礼的人群中，对特朗普的支持度更高。我想用“反个人主义”来称呼它最合适不过。我总是会提到 William Deresiewicz 那本极好的《优秀绵羊》（Excellent Sheep），他在书里精辟地描述了我自己在常春藤盟校多年“反教育”中所亲身体会到的一切。3. 参见第 1 点，如果我们不能在 BigTech 平台上拥有言论自由，那我们就要……
…for larger Trump support among people who haven't passed through the brainwashing machine of the US college/academia. I guess anti-individualism is the best way to call it. I always refer to excellent "Excellent Sheep" book by William Deresiewicz who succinctly described just what I experienced first hand during years of Ivy League un-education. 3. see 1. if we can't get free speech on BigTech platforms then we shall…
William Deresiewicz 的《优秀绵羊》（Excellent Sheep）[1] 是关于这个话题非常棒的读物。另外，他在 2009 年西点军校做的《独处与领导力》（Solitude and Leadership）[2] 演讲也很棒，可能正是那场演讲启发了他写这本书。[1] https://www.amazon.com/Excellent-Sheep-Miseducation-American...…
"Excellent Sheep"[1] by William Deresiewicz is a great read on this topic. Also, his "Solitude and Leadership"[2] talk at West Point in 2009, which probably inspired to write the book. [1] https://www.amazon.com/Excellent-Sheep-Miseducation-American...…
……不断努力去追求更多，以及面对这看似无休无止的一切该作何感想。柏拉图的《理想国》深入探讨了美德，而这种探讨方式在今天不知何故并没怎么（或许本该）经常被拿来讨论。《优秀绵羊》（Excellent Sheep）正是最初促使我去读上述那些书的引子。
…constantly strive to do more and what to make of it when it seems never-ending. Plato's Republic goes deep into virtue in a way that somehow doesn't (and might need to) get explored more often today. Excellent Sheep is the book that got me to read the above books in the first place.
他还写了《优秀绵羊》（Excellent Sheep），一本关于高等教育现状的好书。
He also wrote Excellent Sheep, a good book about the state of higher education.
safe spaces、性别研究、wokeness 证书、美德信号（virtue signaling）工作坊、顺从与群体思维（groupthink）的学位。读读 William Dereshevitz 的《优秀绵羊》（Excellent Sheep）吧，这是关于这个话题最好的一本书。
safe spaces, gender studies, wokeness certificates, virtue signaling workshops, degrees in conformity & groupthink. read William Dereshevitz' "Excellent Sheep", it's the best book on the subject.
