Range (by David Epstein)
Details
Specialization is often praised as the surest path to success—but what if a broader approach leads to deeper insight and innovation? Range challenges the idea that early focus is always better, showing how diverse experiences, curiosity, and adaptability can become powerful advantages in an unpredictable world.
Together, we’ll reflect on what it means to be a generalist in a specialist-driven culture, share stories of learning across disciplines, and discover how embracing breadth can unlock new opportunities in work and life.
