Range : why generalists triumph in a specialized world
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references (pages 297-328) and index.

"David Epstein examined the world?s most successful athletes, artists, musicians, inventors, forecasters and scientists. 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."--Amazon.com.
