Range – Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World by David Epstein
Host: Dr. Rob Woods
Overview from Wikipedia: Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World is a 2019 book by David Epstein in which he expands on the points from his previous book The Sports Gene: Inside the Science of Extraordinary Athletic Performance to make a more general argument against overspecialization. In the book, he argues that range - defined as more diverse experience across multiple fields - is more relevant in today's society than specialization because the wicked problems of the modern world requires bridging experience and knowledge from multiple fields to foster solutions.
