In a world that often tells us to be the best in one field, 'Range' by David Epstein offers a refreshing perspective: it's the generalists who often soar the highest. Epstein dives deep, revealing that those who embrace diverse experiences and skills often have the upper hand. Let's take Roger Federer, for instance. Before he became a tennis legend, he dabbled in a range of sports, or Vincent Van Gogh, who walked various career paths before discovering his true calling with a paintbrush in hand. But why does this matter? Epstein argues that generalists possess a unique advantage. They face new challenges with adaptability, bringing multiple perspectives to the table. They're able to draw connections where specialists might see boundaries. Instead of feeling overwhelmed or indecisive, recognize the strength in your range. Embrace every opportunity to learn and grow. After all, it's the broad toolkit that prepares you for life's unpredictable twists and turns.
