“Range is an urgent and important book, an essential read for bosses, parents, coaches, and anyone who cares about improving performance.” —Daniel H. Pink
What's the most effective path to success in any domain? It's not what you think.
Plenty of experts argue that anyone who wants to develop a skill, play an instrument, or lead their field should start early, focus intensely, and rack up as many hours of deliberate practice as possible. If you dabble or delay, you’ll never catch up to the people who got a head start. But a closer look at research on the world’s top performers, from professional athletes to Nobel laureates, shows that early specialization is the exception, not the rule.
David Epstein examined the world’s most successful athletes, artists, musicians, inventors, forecasters and scientists. He discovered that in most fields—especially those that are complex and unpredictable—generalists, not specialists, are primed to excel. Generalists often find their path late, and they juggle many interests rather than focusing on one. They’re also more creative, more agile, and able to make connections their more specialized peers can’t see.
Provocative, rigorous, and engrossing, Range makes a compelling case for actively cultivating inefficiency. Failing a test is the best way to learn. Frequent quitters end up with the most fulfilling careers. The most impactful inventors cross domains rather than deepening their knowledge in a single area. As experts silo themselves further while computers master more of the skills once reserved for highly focused humans, people who think broadly and embrace diverse experiences and perspectives will increasingly thrive.
用戶評價
##莫名適閤我這種美其名曰「思想上的巨人，行動上的矮子」一天到晚不務正業，時間幾乎全用來讀各種類型閑書，還愣是自我感覺良好的我本人。讀完這本書可不得瞭，我腰闆挺得更直瞭，原來我還是“通纔”呢？ 不過講真，若你有事業上的睏擾（如轉行/跳槽等）那不妨讀讀看，還是很能振奮人心的。另外感覺對於教育小孩也會有用，起碼可以減輕父母與孩子雙方一些不必要的焦慮。畢竟我都想穿越迴我小時候把這本書發給我爸媽一人一本。 美中不足之處是例子未免舉太多，一個觀點被拿來翻來覆去的講，有嚴重注水嫌疑。
評分##3.5
評分##剖析瞭很多大傢習以為常的理論，提供瞭不同的見解。
評分##大概三章就能講明白的道理，車軲轆話不停地說，反復地說……
評分##Point taken but 一篇文章可以搞定的事 寫一本書完全沒必要
評分##2019.11.25 不喜歡讀心靈雞湯/職場/功利性的書。但是這本全不是。當初吸引到我的原因，大概看瞭一個介紹，說它批判早教，grit，批判固化職業... 讀完以後激動不已，到處安利。裏麵講的東西我100%認可。隻是為什麼自己篤定的東西，非要在書上讀瞭纔有底氣堅持呢？ “We learn who we are only by living, and not before.“
評分##用 pss.plus 讀完。例子篇幅太長。
評分##Outliers的作者做瞭首頁推薦，其實兩本書的觀點並不矛盾，綜閤起來看，個人成長應盡可能拓展知識寬度和經曆的豐富性（range)，找到真正的興趣點和專長之後再集中精力齣成就，先前探索的過程也不會被浪費，有range的成就反而可能會更大。隻給三顆星是因為作者很多觀點挺好，但論證過程太多例子看著重復且纍
