This book will flip your understanding of the path to professional success! David Epstein’s revolutionary approach, master’s in environmental science and journalism, challenges the idea of 10,000 hours. He studied examples of the most successful athletes, artists, musicians, Nobel laureates, and scientists and found that, in most fields, early and narrow specialization is not synonymous with results. It is the generalists—inventive and flexible people with a broad worldview and extensive life experience—who steer the world at high speed.
