'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

En ögonöppnare. Här går man och tror att tidig specialisering är en nödvändighet och att kunna lite om mycket är kuriosa snarare än kunskap, att det är bortkastad tid att byta kunskapsområde och smala specialister borde styra landet bäst ( ”we have the best scientists”). Tänk så fel man kan ha 😊

Interesting ideas but quite long and a bit repetitive. Could have been have as long. But definitely read the first few chapters!

Sätter bra perspektiv på hur viktigt det är att vidga sina vyer och söka lärdomar i många olika områden.

Intressant. Men, från mitten och framåt ungefär är boken bara en upprepning med olika exempel från historien som syftar till att understryka argument för generalisering. Typiskt amerikanska böcker av den här typen...

Bra bok säkert men jag kollade på hans Ted-talk istället för att den va för slö. Orkade inte ens försöka hänga med i anekdoterna :(

Specialisering leder oss bort från kreativitet och innovation. Träna inte bara på en sak för att bli bäst på den. Bredda ditt fält och prova på annat.

Viktiga budskap, men ibland hade jag svårt att hänga med i den snabba engelskan.

The opposite of all the preconceived ideas I had about skill and mastery. A must read.

Very interesting and enlightening in the beginning, but way (!) too long. The very detailed anecdotes never stopped coming and started to get annoying. I did not finish the listen. An abbreviated version would be good.
