“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.

##大概三章就能讲明白的道理，车轱辘话不停地说，反复地说……
评分##2019.11.25 不喜欢读心灵鸡汤/职场/功利性的书。但是这本全不是。当初吸引到我的原因，大概看了一个介绍，说它批判早教，grit，批判固化职业... 读完以后激动不已，到处安利。里面讲的东西我100%认可。只是为什么自己笃定的东西，非要在书上读了才有底气坚持呢？ “We learn who we are only by living, and not before.“
评分##“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

评分##读完整本书的收获和读完书名的收获差不多。书的内容基本就是用各种角落里挖出的符合自己论点的真实故事，浇上无限的琐碎细节，生生填满的。
评分##"Mental meandering and personal experimentation are sources of power, and head starts are overrated"
评分##莫名适合我这种美其名曰「思想上的巨人，行动上的矮子」一天到晚不务正业，时间几乎全用来读各种类型闲书，还愣是自我感觉良好的我本人。读完这本书可不得了，我腰板挺得更直了，原来我还是“通才”呢？ 不过讲真，若你有事业上的困扰（如转行/跳槽等）那不妨读读看，还是很能振奋人心的。另外感觉对于教育小孩也会有用，起码可以减轻父母与孩子双方一些不必要的焦虑。毕竟我都想穿越回我小时候把这本书发给我爸妈一人一本。 美中不足之处是例子未免举太多，一个观点被拿来翻来覆去的讲，有严重注水嫌疑。
