Range: How Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World (new)

'A goldmine of surprising insights. Makes you smarter with every page' – James Clear, author of Atomic Habits

The Instant Sunday Times Bestseller. As featured on Diary of a CEO.

The essential guide to improving your performance, and a powerful playbook for success in any field: develop range while everyone around you is rushing to specialize.

You may have been taught that success in any field requires early specialization, and 10,000 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 many interests.
