And, worse, that if you dabble or delay, you'll never catch up with those who got a head start. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is completely wrong.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this landmark book, David Epstein shows you that the way to succeed is by sampling widely, gaining a breadth of experiences, taking detours, experimenting relentlessly, juggling many interests - in other words, by developing \u003ci\u003erange\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStudying the world's most successful athletes, artists, musicians, inventors and scientists, Epstein demonstrates why in most fields - especially those that are complex and unpredictable - generalists, not specialists are primed to excel. No matter what you do, where you are in life, whether you are a teacher, student, scientist, business analyst, parent, job hunter, retiree, you will see the world differently after you've read \u003ci\u003eRange\u003c\/i\u003e. You'll understand better how we solve problems, how we learn and how we succeed. You'll see why failing a test is the best way to learn and why frequent quitters end up with the most fulfilling careers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs experts silo themselves further while computers master more of the skills once reserved for highly focused humans, \u003ci\u003eRange\u003c\/i\u003e shows how people who think broadly and embrace diverse experiences and perspectives will increasingly thrive and why spreading your knowledge across multiple domains is the key to your success, and how to achieve it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'It's a joy to spend hours in the company of a writer as gifted as David Epstein' - Susan Cain, bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eQuiet\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'A goldmine of surprising insights.
