About the Book

The groundbreaking and exhilarating exploration into how to be successful in the 21st Century. What if everything you have been taught about how to succeed in life was wrong? From the ‘10,000 hours rule’ to the power of tiger parenting, we have been taught that success in any field requires early specialisation and many hours of deliberate practice. And, worse, that if you 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 that the way to excel is by sampling widely, gaining a breadth of experiences, taking detours, experimenting relentlessly, juggling many interests – in other words, by developing range. Studying the world’s most successful athletes, artists, musicians, inventors and scientists, Epstein discovered that in most fields – especially those that are complex and unpredictable – generalists, not specialists, are primed to excel. They are also more creative, more agile and able to make connections their more specialised peers can’t see. Range proves that by spreading your knowledge across multiple domains is the key to success rather than deepening their knowledge in a single area. Provocative, rigorous and engrossing, Range explains how to maintain the benefits of breadth, diverse experience and interdisciplinary thinking in a world that increasingly demands, hyper-specialisation.

He has a master's degrees in environmental science and journalism and has worked as an investigative reporter for ProPublica and a senior writer for Sports Illustrated. He lives in Washington, D.C. Will Damron began narrating audiobooks under the tutelage of Audie Award–winner Julia Whelan. He has performed nearly every genre in the business, from literary fiction to sci-fi, fantasy, romance, erotica, nonfiction, young adult and books for young children.

Review :
'David Epstein manages to make me thoroughly enjoy the experience of being told that everything I thought about something was wrong. I loved Range.' 'Brilliant, timely, and utterly impossible to put down. If you care about improving skill, innovation, and performance, you need to read this book.'
