具體描述

Gary Marcus studies evolution, language, and cognitive development at New York University, where he is a professor of psychology and the director of the NYU Center for Child Language. The editor of the Norton Psychology Reader and author of three books about the origins and development of mind and brain, Marcus has written articles for The New York Times, Wired, Discover, and The Wall Street Journal, and has appeared on radio and television programs around the globe.

On the eve of his fortieth birthday, a professor of no discernible musical talent learns to play the guitar and investigates how anyone of any age might master a new skill.

Just about every human being knows how to listen to music, but what does it take to make music? Is musicality something we are born with? Or a skill that anyone can develop at any time? If you don't start piano at the age of six, is there any hope? Is skill learning best left to children or can anyone reinvent him-or herself at any time?

On the eve of his fortieth birthday, Gary Marcus, an internationally renowned scientist with no discernible musical talent, becomes his own guinea pig to look at how human beings become musical- and how anyone of any age can master something new. Guitar Zero traces his journey, what he learned, and how you can learn, too. In addition to being a groundbreaking look at the origins and allure of music, Marcus's journey is also an empowering tale of the mind's plasticity.

In a quest that takes him from Suzuki classes to guitar gods, Marcus investigates the most effective ways to train your brain and body to learn to play an instrument. How can you make your practice more deliberate and effective? How can you find the best music teacher for you or your child? Does talent really exist? Or is hard work all you need?

Guitar Zero stands the science of music on its head, debunking the popular theory of an innate musical instinct and many other commonly held fallacies. At the same time, it raises new questions about the science of human pleasure and brings new insight into humankind's most basic question: what counts as a life well lived? Does one have to become the next Jimi Hendrix to make a passionate pursuit worthwhile? Or can the journey itself bring the brain lasting satisfaction?

##內扉有個叫Joseph Ledoux 的傢夥寫他多希望自己還不會彈吉他這樣他就能......讀到這裏按照正常敘述邏輯應該是“我就能用這個有效的方法來學吉他”....我當時就是這樣理解的。事實證明我的理解是錯誤的,我迴來看Joseph的原話依然不知所雲 [so I could rediscover it through Gary Marcus's ( BTW初中英語裏不是說這種以s結尾的人名所有格加個撇就行瞭嗎?) meditation on the quest to find his inner guitarist". ] 找到自己內裏的那個吉他演奏傢,什麼鬼?! 這本書唯一對吉他學習有用的一條建議就是針對弱項進行練習。 作者是心理學教授兼職雜誌寫手,文筆還是很棒的。

##感覺比較散,有點對不起(附)標題,作者雖然是認知心理學專傢,但是關於這個主題的科學研究實在是很少,作者本人學習吉他的經曆隻是非常稀疏的一個 sample,也支撐不起這麼大的篇幅,所以在講自己的經曆的同時書還穿插介紹各種相關的討論和一些 anecdote,比如人類社會裏有“音樂”這個東西究竟是由基因決定的還是由社會文化發展決定的;再比如學習音樂時天賦和後天練習究竟各占多少重要性,等等,算是和主題有一些關係吧,但是時常會覺得跑得有點遠瞭,況且都是蜻蜓點水地聊聊天(因為並沒有足夠多的科學研究和證據能夠下得瞭任何定論)。當然其中大量提及的各種美國歌手我都幾乎沒接觸過,大概也是看著不是很有趣的一個原因。總之我覺得全書很切題(特彆是副標題)的內容其實比較少。
