一定要说的话,这本书并不适合所有的孩子,所以父母亲读的时候要慎用 - 就和任何一味药,都有主治的症状和副作用一样,呵呵 - 我觉得,这本书适合的孩子是:
1. 智力上比一般孩子要高,尤其是针对公立学校必修科目而言
2. 思想上比较独立,属于很有思想很有主见,但却不是很声张的那种
3. 朋友圈不大,也不急于或者在乎要成为一个有很多朋友的人
4. 对自己喜欢的事情,有极度的热情。对自己不感兴趣的事情,如果被逼无奈,消极对待。
5. 有组织能力,但对抛头露面的社团活动不感兴趣,更愿意组织小圈子里面的活动
6. 虽然看上去不在乎,其实满在乎成年人/父母亲对自己的看法
7. 常常有些想法和冲动,一闪而过,没有继续的热情和决心
如果你的孩子有以上的特征,这本书可能对你和他/她的帮助很大。
我再写下去,就成了帮这个作者推销图书的托儿了,呵呵。所以为了避嫌,还是请大家去图书馆借阅吧。我是借了这本书以后,才决定买一本在家的。
以下是正式的介绍:(from Amazon):
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.

喜马是笔名,你有什么问题吗?也许哪天可以约出来一起吃个饭,不过他孩子应该比你孩子小。 |
