'Fascinating . . . If you’re a generalist who has ever felt overshadowed by your specialist colleagues, this book is for you' – Bill Gates
'A goldmine of surprising insights. Makes you smarter with every page' - James Clear, bestselling author of Atomic Habits
The instant Sunday Times Top Ten and New York Times bestseller Shortlisted for the Financial Times/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award A Financial Times Essential Reads
A powerful argument for how to succeed in any field: develop broad interests and skills while everyone around you is rushing to specialize.
From the ‘10,000 hours rule’ to the power of Tiger parenting, we have been taught that success in any field requires early specialization and many hours of deliberate practice. And, worse, that if you dabble or delay, you'll never catch up with those who got a head start.
This is completely wrong.
In this landmark book, David Epstein shows you that the way to succeed is by sampling widely, gaining a breadth of experiences, taking detours, experimenting relentlessly, juggling many interests – in other words, by developing range.
Studying the world's most successful athletes, artists, musicians, inventors and scientists, Epstein demonstrates why in most fields – especially those that are complex and unpredictable – generalists, not specialists are primed to excel. No matter what you do, where you are in life, whether you are a teacher, student, business analyst, parent, or job hunter, you will see the world differently after you've read Range. You'll understand better how we solve problems, how we learn and how we succeed. You'll see why failing a test is the best way to learn and why frequent quitters end up with the most fulfilling careers.
As experts silo themselves further while computers master more of the skills once reserved for highly focused humans, Range shows how people who think broadly and embrace diverse experiences and perspectives will increasingly thrive and why spreading your knowledge across multiple domains is the key to your success, and how to achieve it.
'I loved Range' – Malcolm Gladwell, bestselling author of Outliers and Talking To Strangers
'Urgent and important. . . an essential read for bosses, parents, coaches, and anyone who cares about improving performance.' – Daniel H. Pink, bestselling author of Drive
'So much crucial and revelatory information about performance, success, and education.' – Susan Cain, bestselling author of Quiet

Boka gir et informert, reflektert syn på hvordan samfunnets forherligelse av spesialisering innenfor alle disipliner påvirker kreativitet, problemløsning, nyvinning og forskning.

Anbefales veldig!Var en stor lettelse å høre for en rastløs ADHD-er som meg, som har vært innom både det ene og det andre opp igjennom 20-årene, og hatt mye dårlig samvittighet for ikke å ha klart å lande noe sted, selv om jeg har hatt en anelse om at den brede og tilsynelatende usammenhengende erfaringen tross alt også har vært veldig berikende.Det er aldri for sent å lande, og heller aldri for sent å begynne på noe helt nytt.Denne boken tilsier tvert imot at det er anbefalingsverdig. Og dét er på ingen måte bare synsinger fra forfatterens side. Han er flittig med ikke bare å underbygge påstandene sine med anekdoter, men viser også til massevis av relevant empirisk forskning og vitenskapelige teorier.Anbefales uansett, om du så er en spesialist som ønsker deg mer bredde (eller ev. mer samarbeid med folk med annen og/eller bred erfaring) eller om du er en generalist av natur som bare ønsker deg mer samvittighetsren interessedyrkelse og inspirasjon. God lytt!

Taught me to think about specialization in general and particularly job careers in a new way!

Gjør akkurat det den sier. Anekdotisk, men likevel er den like treffende som andre bøker i denne kategorien.
