“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.

##講的是通纔和專纔的取捨關係，當前世界的技能格局，以及通纔的技能策略
評分##莫名適閤我這種美其名曰「思想上的巨人，行動上的矮子」一天到晚不務正業，時間幾乎全用來讀各種類型閑書，還愣是自我感覺良好的我本人。讀完這本書可不得瞭，我腰闆挺得更直瞭，原來我還是“通纔”呢？ 不過講真，若你有事業上的睏擾（如轉行/跳槽等）那不妨讀讀看，還是很能振奮人心的。另外感覺對於教育小孩也會有用，起碼可以減輕父母與孩子雙方一些不必要的焦慮。畢竟我都想穿越迴我小時候把這本書發給我爸媽一人一本。 美中不足之處是例子未免舉太多，一個觀點被拿來翻來覆去的講，有嚴重注水嫌疑。
評分##剖析瞭很多大傢習以為常的理論，提供瞭不同的見解。

評分##“想要相信 或者 我已經相信瞭” 這樣是不對的，這本書大量引用Khaneman，不如直接去讀Khaneman，現階段對我無appeal | 大緻略讀 文中材料不新（10yr+）例子局限 作者本身是個reportor不是科學傢
評分##Don't feel behind.
評分##2019.11.25 不喜歡讀心靈雞湯/職場/功利性的書。但是這本全不是。當初吸引到我的原因，大概看瞭一個介紹，說它批判早教，grit，批判固化職業... 讀完以後激動不已，到處安利。裏麵講的東西我100%認可。隻是為什麼自己篤定的東西，非要在書上讀瞭纔有底氣堅持呢？ “We learn who we are only by living, and not before.“
評分##full of stories that are bit too verbose to explain simple concepts.. finished 5 chapters (1) sampling before settling (2) analogical thinking (3) narrow-minded/biases due to narrow field
評分##Point taken but 一篇文章可以搞定的事 寫一本書完全沒必要
