Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World

In a world that increasingly demands early specialization, David Epstein makes a counterintuitive case for the generalist. He examines the world's most successful athletes, artists, and scientists, finding that many of them followed a sampling period before focusing on a specific field. Epstein argues that diverse experiences and late starts are often the keys to innovation and excellence. This book challenges the ten-thousand-hour rule and provides a refreshing perspective on how to navigate a complex, rapidly changing career landscape by embracing breadth.
