书籍简介：

There are no underground bunkers of supercomputers at the heart of the Uber miracle. No cloisters of silent technicians guiding Etsy to its marketplace dominance. Google HQ looks more like a Scandinavian parliament than a server farm. The truth is, the tech boom has less to do with a massive explosion of silicon and aluminum, and much more to do with a massive expansion of the points of contact between humans and machines. George Anders's YOU CAN DO ANYTHING is shaped by the insight that the leading lights at so many ostensibly "tech" firms have deep backgrounds in the humanities–history, sociology, and, yes, English. Something about those backgrounds unlocked potential that hordes of anonymous MBAs and BSs can only wish for. Combining reportage, academic studies, close contact with tech and business luminaries, fast action-oriented distillations, and many years of experience reading the invisible magnetic waves of the business and creator worlds, Anders is writing the book that will upset (cf: "disrupt") the conversation between the STEM and the innumerate, between Mountain View and Main Street, and between parents and children. We all have the power to think on our feet, to rally others, and to embrace the exception. We just need to realize the power. YOU CAN DO ANYTHING points us in that direction and shoves.

书友短评：

@ daniel小鱼干 文科思维训练的是一种“自由技艺”，学会的是如何用复杂的眼光来看待这个世界。而理科思维则是训练一种“固定技艺”，只解决具体的问题。而在这个社会足够细分的时代里，解决复杂问题的能力，比解决单一问题的能力要重要得多。而“批判性思维”是“自由技艺”和解决复杂问题的关键。第一，每个人应该选择自己喜爱的专业去学。第二，为了获得更好的社会适应性，最好有一点跨界的知识。第三，想要取得很高的成就，你得至少在一个领域有比一般人高很多的水平才行。比如你是最好的那5%的程序员，编程就是你的决定性技能。再学点自由技艺，当然对你也是有帮助的。但是帮助你真正赚到高薪的，是那个决定性的技能。如果你不是最好的那5%，那就在两个领域同时达到前25%，只要你能把两个东西结合起来，你也是顶尖人才。
