“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.

##Point taken but 一篇文章可以搞定的事 写一本书完全没必要
评分##Point taken but 一篇文章可以搞定的事 写一本书完全没必要
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##“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##"Mental meandering and personal experimentation are sources of power, and head starts are overrated"
评分##剖析了很多大家习以为常的理论，提供了不同的见解。
评分##Outliers的作者做了首页推荐，其实两本书的观点并不矛盾，综合起来看，个人成长应尽可能拓展知识宽度和经历的丰富性（range)，找到真正的兴趣点和专长之后再集中精力出成就，先前探索的过程也不会被浪费，有range的成就反而可能会更大。只给三颗星是因为作者很多观点挺好，但论证过程太多例子看着重复且累
评分##不必看，很失望。
评分##用 pss.plus 读完。例子篇幅太长。
