Excellent Sheep: The Miseducation of the American Elite and the Way to a Meaningful Life
Audio CD Paperback Kindle Edition HardcoverIn "Excellent Sheep", William Deresiewicz argues that the American educational system, particularly elite universities, is failing to produce individuals with meaningful lives. Deresiewicz claims that a focus on prestige and achievement leaves students without the skills to navigate the world as adults, leading to a lack of fulfillment and purpose. He calls for a shift towards a more holistic education, where critical thinking, creativity, and community involvement are emphasized over grades and resumes. Deresiewicz draws from his experiences as a professor and admissions officer at prestigious universities, as well as interviews with students and graduates, to make his case.
