According to a 1995 study, a sample of Japanese eighth graders spent 44 percent of their class time inventing, thinking, and actively struggling with underlying concepts. The study's sample of American students, on the other hand, spent less than 1 percent of their time in that state. “The Japanese want their kids to struggle,” said Jim Stigler, the UCLA professor who oversaw the study and who cowrote The Teaching Gap with James Hiebert. “Sometimes the [Japanese] teacher will purposely give the wrong answer so the kids can grapple with the theory. American teachers, though, worked like waiters. Whenever there was a struggle, they wanted to move past it, make sure the class kept gliding along. But you don't learn by gliding.

Coach John Wooden [UCLA] taught me that sports wasn’t just about making us better athletes, but about making us better people. Compassion, kindness, and morality were more important than a championship season. Fame wasn’t an accomplishment, it was an opportunity to show our gratitude to the community that we are a part of by changing it for the better.

Кстати, исследователи задокументировали так называемый феномен Businessweek. Когда главам компаний вручают престижные награды (в том числе еженедельник Businessweek присваивает звание «Лучший менеджер»), как правило, в течение трех последующих лет эти компании ухудшают показатели (в частности, такие как учетная прибыль и цена акций). Однако, в отличие от упоминавшегося выше эффекта Sports Illustrated, «феномен Businessweek» представляет собой нечто большее, чем возврат к среднему. По словам Ульрики Малмендьер и Джеффри Тейта, экономистов Калифорнийского университета в Беркли и UCLA соответственно, когда главы компаний обретают статус «суперзвезды», внезапно свалившаяся на них слава начинает отвлекать их от дел{49}. Они пишут мемуары. Их приглашают в советы директоров других компаний. Они ищут для себя так называемых статусных (то есть молодых и эффектных) жен. (Упомянутые мною авторы предлагают лишь первые два объяснения, однако последнее мне также кажется вполне правдоподобным.) Малмендьер и Тейт пишут: «Полученные нами результаты свидетельствуют о том, что культура суперзвезд, искусственно формируемая средствами массовой информации, ведет к более глубоким изменениям поведения, чем обычный возврат к среднему». Иными словами, когда фотография главы компании появляется на обложке Businessweek, пиши пропало, то есть “быстро продавай акции этой компании”.

had accidentally walked into history as the first college coach of the player on a path to change amateur sports forever. On the 1965 morning that changed everything, Cunningham was getting breakfast in the Student Union when he spotted his former coach eating alone at a table. He asked to sit with Wooden and ended up in a

Skill is a cellular insulation that wraps neural circuits and that grows in response to certain signals. The more time and energy you put into the right kind of practice—the longer you stay in the Clarissa zone, firing the right signals through your circuits—the more skill you get, or, to put it a slightly different way, the more myelin you earn. All skill acquisitions, and therefore all talent hotbeds, operate on the same principles of action, no matter how different they may appear to us. As Dr. George Bartzokis, a UCLA neurologist and myelin researcher, put it, “All skills, all language, all music, all movements, are made of living circuits, and all circuits grow according to certain rules.
