为什么值得读
- 剖析基因如何影响运动能力与耐力跑
- 讨论工作狂等特质可能具备的遗传基础
- 提供了有别于格拉德威尔异类论的视角
本书探讨了遗传与训练在运动成就中的作用，认为两者都是取得竞技成绩不可或缺的要素，同时探讨了种族、性别及基因检测等议题。我们在高中时都认识一位明星运动员。那种表现得轻轻松松的人。他是首发四分卫和游击手；她是全州级别的控球后卫和跳高选手。天生奇才？还是另有隐情？这场争论与体育竞赛一样悠久。像 Usain Bolt、Michael Phelps 和 Serena Williams 这样的体坛明星，究竟是为了统治各自项目而降临地球的基因特例？还是……

……对羞耻感文化的探讨、它对人的影响以及如何对抗它——哪怕我并不完全赞同作者说的每一句话，也是一本关于冷门但重要话题的好书。David Epstein 写的《The Sports Gene》——探讨基因如何影响运动表现（而且远不止于此）；算是在一定程度上反驳了 Gladwell 的《异类》——大概是我今年最喜欢的一本书。《火星救援》（Andy Weir 著）——一个家伙……
…discussion of shame culture, its effects on people, and how to combat it - pretty good book about a topic that doesn't get raised often enough, even if I don't agree with everything the author says. The Sports Gene by David Epstein - how genetics may affect sport performance (and not only that); a bit of a counterpoint to Gladwell's Outliers - probably my favorite book this year. The Martian by Andy Weir - a guy…

有一本我超级喜欢的书，David Epstein 写的《The Sports Gene》，里面深入探讨了“工作狂”其实被证实是一种基因特征。作为一个显然没有这种基因的人，我看着科比这样的人只能摇摇头，然后……
A book that I thoroughly enjoyed, "The Sports Gene" by David Epstein, he goes into how being a workaholic has been shown to be a genetic trait. As someone who apparently doesn't have the gene, I look at people like Kobe and can just shake my head and…
《The Sports Gene》[1] 在这个话题上是一本极其出色的书，不仅有研究做支撑，还有很多引人入胜的故事。里面有一节讲了 Dan 的故事，但也有关于一个全身心投入的世界跳高冠军的报道，他……
"The Sports Gene" [1] is an excellent book on this topic backed up by not only research but entertaining stories as well. It has a section about Dan but also has stories about a world champion high jumper who dedicated…
