“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
##讀完整本書的收獲和讀完書名的收獲差不多。書的內容基本就是用各種角落裏挖齣的符閤自己論點的真實故事，澆上無限的瑣碎細節，生生填滿的。
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
評分##full of stories that are bit too verbose to explain simple concepts.. finished 5 chapters (1) sampling before settling (2) analogical thinking (3) narrow-minded/biases due to narrow field
評分##不必看，很失望。
評分##Finished 10/12 chapters. A great challenge to 10k hour rule and don't be afraid of falling behind. When match quality isn’t good, quitting is a better way out to seek other options you feel passionate about where grit and perseverance are in the way of ‘quitting’.

評分##“想要相信 或者 我已經相信瞭” 這樣是不對的，這本書大量引用Khaneman，不如直接去讀Khaneman，現階段對我無appeal | 大緻略讀 文中材料不新（10yr+）例子局限 作者本身是個reportor不是科學傢
評分##不必看，很失望。
評分##3.5
評分##Point taken but 一篇文章可以搞定的事 寫一本書完全沒必要
