________________________
Tara Westover and her family grew up preparing for the End of Days but, according to the government, she didn’t exist. She hadn’t been registered for a birth certificate. She had no school records because she’d never set foot in a classroom, and no medical records because her father didn’t believe in hospitals.
As she grew older, her father became more radical and her brother more violent. At sixteen, Tara knew she had to leave home. In doing so she discovered both the transformative power of education, and the price she had to pay for it.

##这是一个自诩爱看书的人从去年九月底硕士开学到现在看完的唯一一本课外书😅/我不得不承认看到剑桥的教授说你想上哪读研我都能保你录取的时候我居然有那么一丝不道德的嫉妒😨可能有的人就是天赋异禀吧，我认认真真读了十几年的书，还不是被剑桥脆拒了吗😂/最后一部分看作者反反复复与过去斗争，一次次回到那个家，看得我好累😔
评分##8分 / Tara Westover形容之前的自己怯懦崩潰自我懷疑是一個腐爛掉的人，惡臭熏天。在Educated這本書里她用了一個詞來講改變「remade」，重塑自我。先找出你的能力所在，然後再決定你是誰。她有著強大的元認知能力，不斷自我反省、調節、平衡、前進。Tara進入劍橋的項目後她的導師是Jonathan Steinberg，比喻她是蕭伯納的茶花女。她只是一個穿著漂亮衣服的倫敦人，直到她相信自己，那時她穿什麼衣服已經無關緊要了。
评分##Listening to the audio book while I was running，I cried all the way.
评分##一个人能够改变自己，除了教育，还有运气以及能够坚持下去的毅力。作者能够走出来，除了自己意识到了，还是受到了身边一些人的正向影响的。

评分##“First find out what you are capable of, then decide who you are.“ 一口气看完觉得Tara这种才是PhD的料… 我大概就是那种failing my PhD的人……
评分##16/02/2020-28/02/2020 幸运的人，一生都被童年治愈；不幸的人，一生都在治愈童年。作者显然是后者。读第一部分的时候因为书评的“剧透"我还是抱着猎奇摩门教奇怪教义的心态来看的，待读到第三部分时，猎奇的心理已经被为作者感到痛苦，愤怒，委屈等一系列情感所替代了。近些年谈得很多的原生家庭问题，在这本书中又因为宗教的原因使得作者的家庭情况更为复杂，而作者把在对抗过程中所经历的苦痛化为力量，以宗教背后的历史与文化为课题，在学术方面取得了成就，真的是一位坚强又出色的女性。
评分##They are more complicated than the roles they are assigned in stories. What she has undergone and achieved is such encouraging and uplifting. I identified with Tara Westover for the most part.
评分##Give my money back
