📝 Description
Range by David Epstein examines the success of individuals who maintain a broad base of skills rather than specializing early in life. The book argues that generalists are often better at navigating complex, unpredictable environments because they can draw on a diverse range of experiences and 'talent stacking.' Epstein uses examples from sports, science, and business to show that a 'sampling period' and a wide breadth of interests lead to greater long-term success and innovation compared to narrow, early specialization.
