“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.

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’.

评分##这本书从一月读到四月,一开始觉得很棒,给我了新的启发,range maybe better than hyperspecialization and do not feel lag behind 但是一整本书翻来覆去的将案例就有点说教了 but still, it inspired me and mitigated my anxiety. 这本书很好,对我算近1年商业/社科最佳 主要讨论了 - 因为10000h定律,是否要尽可能"赢在起跑线", 尽早对某个方向做专业、大量的训练? - 如果觉得现在的专业、工作不适合我,应该换行吗,这是否是退缩? - 什么时候data-driven的文化是有害的? - 不同问题/领域间如何移植经验...
