《Educated》简介:

Educated is an account of the struggle for self-invention. It is a tale of fierce family loyalty, and of the grief that comes from severing one’s closest ties. With the acute insight that distinguishes all great writers, Westover has crafted a universal coming-of-age story that gets to the heart of what an education is and what it offers: the perspective to see one’s life through new eyes, and the will to change it.

《Educated》摘录:

教育意味着获得不同的视角,理解不同的人、经历和历史。接受教育,但不要让你的教育僵化成傲慢。教育应该是思想的拓展,同理心的深化,视野的开阔。教育不应该使你的偏见变得更顽固。如果人们受过教育,他们应该变得不那么确定,而不是更确定。他们应该多听,少说,对差异满怀激情,热爱那些不同于他们的想法。——塔拉・韦斯特弗《福布斯杂志》访谈
