Description
'A gold mine of surprising insights. Makes you smarter with every page' - James Clear, bestselling author of Atomic Habits
The essential guide to improving your performance, and a powerful argument for how to succeed in any field: develop broad interests and skills while everyone around you is rushing to specialize. With a new foreword from the author, David Epstein.
Instant Sunday Times and New York Times Bestseller
Shortlisted for the Financial Times/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award
A Financial Times Essential Read
From the '10,000 hours' rule to the power of tiger parenting, we have been taught that success in any field requires early specialization and many hours of deliberate practice. If you only dabble or delay, you'll never catch up with those who got a head start.
This is completely wrong.
In 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 and juggling interests - this is the power of developing range.
Studying the world's most successful athletes, artists, musicians, inventors and scientists, Epstein demonstrates why, in most fields. generalists, not specialists are primed to excel.
In the years since its initial release, Range has challenged the status quo, reshaped career paths and changed lives. Read it to view the world differently.
'I loved Range' - Malcolm Gladwell, bestselling author of Outliers and The Tipping Point
'Fascinating . . . if you're a generalist who has ever felt overshadowed by your specialist colleagues, this book is for you' - Bill Gates
