“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.

Point taken but 一篇文章可以搞定的事 写一本书完全没必要

“想要相信 或者 我已经相信了” 这样是不对的，这本书大量引用Khaneman，不如直接去读Khaneman，现阶段对我无appeal | 大致略读 文中材料不新（10yr+）例子局限 作者本身是个reportor不是科学家

[有声书] 标题和副标题多少有点简单粗暴地点出“成为通才”的主题，而且书中的例子全都是能力过人的个人（诺贝尔奖得主体育明星古典音乐名人等等），所以很难说普通人若是把成为专才的精力和机会花在成为全才上面，是否是一个正确的选择。不过具体到每个章节，有意思的观点很多，尤其是引用的一些研究。个人收获比较大的在于：学生评价跟学生之后在该专业的表现成反比，有效学习必须是“痛苦的”；专业训练让学生都太“专”了，...
