“Expericence may possibly be the best teacher,but it is not a particulary good teacher.”You might think that Winston Churhill or perhaps Mark Twain spoke those wors,but they actually come from James March, a prosefessor at staufor university and a pioneer in the field of organization deeision making.For years March( possibly be wisest philosopher of managerment) has studied how hummns think and act,and he continues to do so in his new book The Ambiguities of Experience.

He begins by reminding us of just how firmly we hava been sticking to the idea of experiential learning :“Experience is respected；experience is sought；erperience is explained.”The problem is that learning from experience involves（涉及）serious complications（復(fù)雜化），ones that are part of the nature of experience itself and which March discusses in the body of this book.

In one interesting part of book，for example，he turns a double eye toward the use of stories as the most effective way of experiential learning. He says“The more accurately（精確的）reality is presented，the less understandable the story，and the more understandable the story,the less realistic it is.”

Besides being a broadly knowdledgeable researcher. March is also a poet, and his gift shines though in the depth of views he offers and the simple language he uses. Though the book is short, it is demanding；Don’t pick it up looking for quick, easy lessons. Rather, be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life.
