Excellent Sheep
Book • 2015
In 'Excellent Sheep,' William Deresiewicz critiques the high-pressure environment of elite colleges, where students are often driven to achieve without developing critical thinking or a sense of purpose.
He argues that college should be a time for self-discovery and establishing personal values, rather than merely preparing students for professional success.
