Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World

Description

David Epstein

#9546   Offers a powerful argument for how to succeed in any field: develop broad interests and skills rather than specialize in any one. Reveals research results on the world’s top performers, from professional athletes to Nobel laureates – early specialization is the exception, not the rule. In most fields – especially those that are complex and unpredictable – generalists, not specialists, excel. Often finding their path late and juggling many interests, generalists are also more creative, more agile, and able to make connections their more specialized peers can’t see. 352 pages. 2019. $28.00.
