When asked to review Range by David Epstein, Malcolm Gladwell wrote: "Epstein manages to make me thoroughly enjoy the experience of being told that everything I thought about something was wrong." In Range, Epstein knocks down one of the most believed myths in the world of self-development that each us has a certain path where he or she could thrive, and that specialization is the best way to improve performance and to benefit the society. Epstein's notion goes against everything you might've known about learning and innovating, and he supports it by referring to a wide range of topics: psychology, business, education, art, etc.

Whether you're a student, a parent, a manager or someone on the path of self-discovery, this summary of Range is for you. Through this summary, you'll understand why specialization is not the best way to improve performance and productivity, and why generalists are the ones who triumph in this world. Before reading, be prepared to be astounded and to start questioning a lot of your beliefs.
