“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 pss.plus 读完。例子篇幅太长。
评分##剖析了很多大家习以为常的理论,提供了不同的见解。

评分##读完整本书的收获和读完书名的收获差不多。书的内容基本就是用各种角落里挖出的符合自己论点的真实故事,浇上无限的琐碎细节,生生填满的。
评分##3.5
评分##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’.

评分##2019.11.25 不喜欢读心灵鸡汤/职场/功利性的书。但是这本全不是。当初吸引到我的原因,大概看了一个介绍,说它批判早教,grit,批判固化职业... 读完以后激动不已,到处安利。里面讲的东西我100%认可。只是为什么自己笃定的东西,非要在书上读了才有底气坚持呢? “We learn who we are only by living, and not before.“
