David Epstein Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World Book

Narrow specialization is now the exception rather than the rule, so to become successful you need to have knowledge from several different fields instead of delving into one. David Epstein has researched the stories of the world's top athletes, artists, inventors and scientists and concluded that flexibility and diverse experiences are the key to true achievement. Such observations are supported by numerous scientific and statistical data. From this book you will learn why long hard training sessions do not always produce the desired results, while constant defeats will help you build an ideal career. Get rid of the stereotypes that have been imposed by the education system for years and learn how to get universal knowledge and implement it in any sphere.
