Fame is like lightning. Taylor Swift, Bob Dylan, Leonardo da Vinci, Jane Austen, Oprah Winfrey—all of them were struck. Why? What if they hadn't been? Consider the most famous music group in history. What would the world be like if the Beatles never existed? This was the question posed by the playful, thought-provoking, 2019 film Yesterday, in which a young, completely unknown singer starts performing Beatles hits to a world that has never heard them. Would the Fab Four's songs be as phenomenally popular as they are in our own Beatle-infused world? The movie asserts that they would, but is that true? Was the success of the Beatles inevitable due to their amazing, matchless talent? Maybe. It's hard to imagine our world without its stars, icons, and celebrities. They are part of our culture and history, seeming permanent and preordained. But as Harvard law professor (and passionate Beatles fan) Cass Sunstein shows in this startling book, that is far from the case. Focusing on both famous and forgotten (or simply overlooked) artists and luminaries in music, literature, business, science, politics, and other fields, he explores why some individuals become famous and others don't and offers a new understanding of the roles played by greatness, luck, and contingency in the achievement of fame. Sunstein examines recent research on informational cascades, network effects, and group polarization to probe the question of how people become famous. He explores what ends up in the history books and in the literary canon and how that changes radically over time. He delves into the rich and entertaining stories of a diverse cast of famous characters, from John Keats, William Blake, and Jane Austen to Bob Dylan, Ayn Rand, and Stan Lee—as well as John, Paul, George, and Ringo. How to Become Famous takes you on a fun, captivating, and at times profound journey that will forever change your perspective on the latest celebrity's "fifteen minutes of fame" and on what vaults some to the top—and leaves others in the dust.

想要解鎖出名成就？《推出你的影響力》作者桑思汀揭露成名關鍵 為什麼有些唱片可以進入告示牌百強，有些卻乏人問津？為什麼有些書可以受到好評與關注並且看似永遠不會下架？資訊瀑布、群體極化、關係網效應，哈佛教授運用行為經濟學探討如何帶動成功的風向。 全美最重要的社會學家鄧肯．華茲、全球百大思想家泰勒．科文強力推薦 這是一本探究成名之道的書。 關於成功與失敗；關於在世的人、死去的人、以及往後的數十年和數世紀之中；關於記憶、文化、國家、敘事、行銷與歷史；也關於小說家、音樂人、政治家、詩人、電影、企業、法律條文、社會運動。 為什麼泰勒絲、巴布．迪倫、披頭四、珍．奧斯汀、濟慈的名聲響徹雲霄，且看似天生要成功？但你知道嗎？星際大戰上映前沒人看好、披頭四差一點沒出道就解散、濟慈認為自己人生失敗成名無望嗎？是否存在一個平行時空，在那裡我們熟知的經典與大人物都沒沒無聞，取而代之的是同時代的其他有才華的人？ 我們很難想像世界上沒有明星、偶像和名人，他們彷彿命中注定般成為文化和歷史的一部分。但正如哈佛大學教授凱斯．桑思汀（Cass Sunstein）在這本令人著迷的作品中所述，世事無絕對。 身為哈佛行為經濟學與公共政策所發起人的桑思汀深入音樂、文學、商業、科學、政治等領域，關注那些著名的和被遺忘的名字，探討了為什麼有些人成名、而另一些人卻沒有？成功是否必然是因為他們驚人的、無與倫比的才華？並藉由研究成果提出了新的見解：成就名聲靠的是出色、運氣和偶然。 作者將運用當代最受歡迎的文化現象為例，並利用他在資訊瀑布、關係網效應、群體極化等行為主題的研究，來探討人類行為如何影響成功與失敗的因素。他將在本書中分享他對濟慈、威廉．布萊克、珍．奧斯汀、巴布．迪倫、艾茵．蘭德和史丹．李等眾多名人豐富的研究與有趣的故事，當然還有披頭四。 ⮚ 為什麼成功和失敗難以預測？ ⮚ 為什麼披頭四會轟動全球？ ⮚ 為什麼有的人活著就坐享名聲，有的人死後才出名？ ⮚ 為什麼濟慈常被公認是最偉大的浪漫主義詩人？ ⮚ 為什麼有些文化商品（如唱片、書籍、電影）會成功，有些則會失敗？ ⮚ 如果歐巴馬在一九六○年代出來競選有可能選上嗎？ 《如何成名》將帶你踏上一段有趣、迷人、且深刻的旅程，以及是什麼讓一些人登上頂峰，而有些人卻被遠遠甩在身後。 【各界讚譽】 「為了探討為什麼有些人會成名而有些人則不然，桑思汀旁徵博引了實驗心理學與行為科學中令人信服的研究。……這是一本發人深省的讀物……」 ——《金融時報》（Financial Times） 「……桑思汀開設了一門引人入勝的速成課，解釋了為什麼某些人、或樂隊、電影、藝術作品得以成名。」 ——《柯克斯評論》（Kirkus Reviews） 「披頭四、星際大戰、巴布．狄倫和莎士比亞有什麼共同之處？他們都非常有名。然而，為什麼會這樣？凱斯．桑思汀在本書中回答了這個問題，而答案比你想像得還要有趣好玩、令人驚訝和違背直覺。這本書不會告訴你如何成名，但它將幫助你以一種全新的方式理解名氣——以及它的手足成功。如果你讀懂了這本書，你的世界觀將因此顛覆。」 ——鄧肯．華茲（Duncan Watts），賓州大學史蒂文斯理工學院教授、美國知名社會學家、《六個人的小世界》（Six Degrees: The Science of a Connected Age）作者 「這本書或許也可以叫做《驚奇故事集》。桑思汀驚訝地看著那些受幸運之神眷顧的例子，與那些莫名其妙被命運蔑視的例子，同時將這些點串聯成面。這是一次好玩有趣、強而有力且至關重要的檢視，也提醒著我們共同肩負的文化責任──留心觀察。」 ——霍華．費雪曼（Howard Fishman），《獻給有興趣的任何人：康妮·康維斯的生活、音樂與謎團》（To Anyone Who Ever Asks: The Life, Music, and Mystery of Connie Converse）作者 「當代還有誰比凱斯．桑思汀更適合解釋名氣呢？《如何成名》是社會科學觀察的精彩傑作，向我們展示了名氣的本質、運作機制，及其最終是如何不公平地分配。」——泰勒．科文（Tyler Cowen），喬治梅森大學經濟學教授、全球百大思想家、《人才：識才、選才、求才、留才的10堂課》（Talent: How to Identify Energizers, Creatives, and Winners Around the World）作者 「時勢」如何造「英雄」，關乎人們對於成功的理解，然而，那真的是所謂「成功」嗎？當作者以「品質」提出對於「時勢」的疑慮與分析，透過個案，說明機緣與悖論的種種可能，提供了解釋與理解「成功」的更多觀點與可能。在浮濫的「成功學」充斥市面的時代裡，沒有一言以蔽之或理所當然的成功／不成功，或許是本書觀點最有價值之處。我們都因此多向度的思考「時勢」與「英雄」之所謂。 ──陳玠安（作家） 「披頭四貝斯手保羅・麥卡尼，近年說過一句話：『現在很多年輕人上選秀節目，一夕成名，令他們措手不及。但我們是慢慢爬上去的，逐漸打開了知名度。』在無奇不有的社群網路時代，成名不難，每個人都能享受安迪・沃荷預言的『十五分鐘』。但如何像那些經典人物一樣，當一顆不滅的恆星？那需要的，不只是機緣。」 ──陳德政（作家） 「安迪・沃荷那句『在未來，每個人都有成名的十五分鐘』，雖然很勵志，前提是你必須做好準備。事實是，堅持不一定能發亮，至少不會暗淡。」 ──黃益中（公民教師、《思辨》作者） 「世界上有兩種人：名人與其他人。人們一方面對名人趨之若鶩，另一方面又常譴責名人，但內心卻無比渴望加入名人俱樂部。成為名人其實與運氣息息相關，而大谷翔平正是深諳此道，並且身體力行地去爭取好運。《如何成名》這本書，無論是書名還是內容，都深深吸引我。」 ──楊斯棓（《要有一個人》作者、醫師） 「安迪・沃荷：在未來，每個人都能成名15分鐘。曾經被視為荒唐之言，如今卻變成可行之事。人人都有機會成名，但要怎麼做？本書深入探討了成名的複雜過程，帶領讀者重新審視成名的本質。無論你是對名人好奇，還是希望自己也能在領域中脫穎而出，這本書將會為你帶來啟發。」 ──劉奕酉（鉑澈行銷顧問策略長） 「公共政策名作《推出你的影響力》的作者，這次發出豪語，提醒不該追求功名。他爬梳各種文化及歷史紀錄，發現一切成名跟成功之道都是緣木求魚。若時勢可遇不可求，做事真正的意義便不在成功，而在於好玩且不累死。」 ──劉維人（《北歐不是神話》、《修辭的陷阱》、《民主的擂台》等書譯者） 【齊聲推薦】 陳玠安｜作家 陳德政∣作家 張修修｜知識型YouTuber 張硯拓｜《釀電影》主編 黃益中｜公民教師、《思辨》作者 楊斯棓｜《要有一個人》作者、醫師 劉奕酉｜鉑澈行銷顧問策略長） 劉維人｜《北歐不是神話》、《修辭的陷阱》、《民主的擂台》等書譯者

With some scrap lumber and a dream, young Bob Turner became the first All-American Soap Box Derby world champion in 1934. Over the next 40 years, pushed by curiosity, ingenuity, determination and sometimes an overbearing father, thousands more would follow in his footsteps to try--for at least one day--to become the most famous boy in America. Covering the glory years of the Soap Box Derby, Champions, Cheaters, and Childhood Dreams provides a history of the race from its beginnings on a hillside in Dayton, to the corporate-sponsored star-studded event it became in the 1950s and 1960s, and to its near-obscurity after it was rocked by withdrawal of its major corporate sponsor and a legendary cheating scandal. Through first person accounts and historical narrative, Champions, Cheaters, and Childhood Dreams demonstrates how the Soap Box Derby mirrored American society. The hard scrapple Depression years, the patriotism of the war years, the idealism of post-World War II America, the hope and prosperity of the 1950s and 1960s and the breakdown of institutions and values during the Vietnam-war era, are told through the stories of the people who raced in and ran the All-American Soap Box Derby.

In The Secret Origins of Comics Studies, today’s leading comics scholars turn back a page to reveal the founding figures dedicated to understanding comics art. Edited by comics scholars Matthew J. Smith and Randy Duncan, this collection provides an in-depth study of the individuals and institutions that have created and shaped the field of Comics Studies over the past 75 years. From Coulton Waugh to Wolfgang Fuchs, these influential historians, educators, and theorists produced the foundational work and built the institutions that inspired the recent surge in scholarly work in this dynamic, interdisciplinary field. Sometimes scorned, often underappreciated, these visionaries established a path followed by subsequent generations of scholars in literary studies, communication, art history, the social sciences, and more. Giving not only credit where credit is due, this volume both offers an authoritative account of the history of Comics Studies and also helps move the field forward by being a valuable resource for creating graduate student reading lists and the first stop for anyone writing a comics-related literature review.

From the prizewinning Jewish Lives series, a meditation on the deeply Jewish and surprisingly spiritual roots of Stan Lee and Marvel Comics Few artists have had as much of an impact on American popular culture as Stan Lee. The characters he created—Spider-Man and Iron Man, the X-Men and the Fantastic Four—occupy Hollywood’s imagination and production schedules, generate billions at the box office, and come as close as anything we have to a shared American mythology. This illuminating biography focuses as much on Lee’s ideas as it does on his unlikely rise to stardom. It surveys his cultural and religious upbringing and draws surprising connections between celebrated comic book heroes and the ancient tales of the Bible, the Talmud, and Jewish mysticism. Was Spider-Man just a reincarnation of Cain? Is the Incredible Hulk simply Adam by another name? From close readings of Lee’s work to little-known anecdotes from Marvel’s history, the book paints a portrait of Lee that goes much deeper than one of his signature onscreen cameos. About Jewish Lives: Jewish Lives is a prizewinning series of interpretative biography designed to explore the many facets of Jewish identity. Individual volumes illuminate the imprint of Jewish figures upon literature, religion, philosophy, politics, cultural and economic life, and the arts and sciences. Subjects are paired with authors to elicit lively, deeply informed books that explore the range and depth of the Jewish experience from antiquity to the present. In 2014, the Jewish Book Council named Jewish Lives the winner of its Jewish Book of the Year Award, the first series ever to receive this award. More praise for Jewish Lives: “Excellent.” – New York times “Exemplary.” – Wall St. Journal “Distinguished.” – New Yorker “Superb.” – The Guardian
