About this ebook
QuickRead presents a summary of "Range" by David Epstein:
Discover Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World.
In today's modern world, people are feeling the pressure to excel and specialize in a certain area. Constantly, people hear about the importance of choosing a niche and becoming an expert in that area. However, sportswriter David Epstein uses research and real-life stories to argue that businesses today need generalists, not specialists. So what's a generalist? A generalist is a person who has experience in many different areas, someone who took a bit longer to find out what they are good at and what they enjoy. These people are often more creative and can make connections across different fields that specialists often miss. As a result, generalists are more powerful and innovative, allowing them to become better problem solvers and forecasters. So instead of trying to specialize early in your career, it's best to explore different interests and become knowledgeable in many areas. As you read, you'll learn the myth of getting ahead early and why those who discover their skills later in life have an advantage.
