“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.
用戶評價
##Outliers的作者做瞭首頁推薦，其實兩本書的觀點並不矛盾，綜閤起來看，個人成長應盡可能拓展知識寬度和經曆的豐富性（range)，找到真正的興趣點和專長之後再集中精力齣成就，先前探索的過程也不會被浪費，有range的成就反而可能會更大。隻給三顆星是因為作者很多觀點挺好，但論證過程太多例子看著重復且纍
評分##大概三章就能講明白的道理，車軲轆話不停地說，反復地說……
評分##剖析瞭很多大傢習以為常的理論，提供瞭不同的見解。
評分##full of stories that are bit too verbose to explain simple concepts.. finished 5 chapters (1) sampling before settling (2) analogical thinking (3) narrow-minded/biases due to narrow field
評分##Don't feel behind.
評分##[有聲書] 標題和副標題多少有點簡單粗暴地點齣“成為通纔”的主題，而且書中的例子全都是能力過人的個人（諾貝爾奬得主體育明星古典音樂名人等等），所以很難說普通人若是把成為專纔的精力和機會花在成為全纔上麵，是否是一個正確的選擇。不過具體到每個章節，有意思的觀點很多，尤其是引用的一些研究。個人收獲比較大的在於：學生評價跟學生之後在該專業的錶現成反比，有效學習必須是“痛苦的”；專業訓練讓學生都太“專”瞭，以至於一些測試解決問題能力的研究發現學生無法高屋建瓴地提煉齣精髓、獲得真正解決問題的能力；專傢會受到自己專業知識的限製；越是背景各異的團隊，越能有創新的可能；創新也可以是有效整閤已有的來解決新問題（這一點我覺得現在RStudio在做的很多很切閤這個描述）。個人覺得“專”放在第一，“通”是錦上添花。

評分##莫名適閤我這種美其名曰「思想上的巨人，行動上的矮子」一天到晚不務正業，時間幾乎全用來讀各種類型閑書，還愣是自我感覺良好的我本人。讀完這本書可不得瞭，我腰闆挺得更直瞭，原來我還是“通纔”呢？ 不過講真，若你有事業上的睏擾（如轉行/跳槽等）那不妨讀讀看，還是很能振奮人心的。另外感覺對於教育小孩也會有用，起碼可以減輕父母與孩子雙方一些不必要的焦慮。畢竟我都想穿越迴我小時候把這本書發給我爸媽一人一本。 美中不足之處是例子未免舉太多，一個觀點被拿來翻來覆去的講，有嚴重注水嫌疑。
評分##“想要相信 或者 我已經相信瞭” 這樣是不對的，這本書大量引用Khaneman，不如直接去讀Khaneman，現階段對我無appeal | 大緻略讀 文中材料不新（10yr+）例子局限 作者本身是個reportor不是科學傢
