“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.

##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’.

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.

评分##3.5
评分##Outliers的作者做了首页推荐，其实两本书的观点并不矛盾，综合起来看，个人成长应尽可能拓展知识宽度和经历的丰富性（range)，找到真正的兴趣点和专长之后再集中精力出成就，先前探索的过程也不会被浪费，有range的成就反而可能会更大。只给三颗星是因为作者很多观点挺好，但论证过程太多例子看着重复且累

评分##讲的是通才和专才的取舍关系，当前世界的技能格局，以及通才的技能策略
评分##大概三章就能讲明白的道理，车轱辘话不停地说，反复地说……
