1. Range
This book challenges the conventional wisdom that early specialization is the only path to success, arguing instead for the value of broad experiences and experimentation. Drawing on a wide array of real-world examples and scientific research, it makes the case that individuals who embrace diverse interests and experiences are often more creative, more agile, and able to make connections their more specialized peers can't see. The narrative asserts that in a rapidly changing world, the ability to adapt and integrate information from multiple domains is not just an advantage but a necessity. Through compelling stories and data, the book encourages embracing a more versatile approach to learning and career development.
