#146 David Epstein- Why generalists triumph in a specialized world


Listen Later

Have you ever worried that you might have too many interests? Maybe you feel like your'e not on the "right" path. Well, you might just be a generalist! On this episode David uncovers some of the myths behind elite performance. 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.

David Epstein is the author of: Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World, and New York Times bestseller The Sports Gene
