Kindle Pick of the Week: RANGE: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World

On sale this week:

A great read to start your summer!

David Epstein—science writer and author of the New York Times bestseller The Sports Gene: Inside the Science of Extraordinary Athletic Performance—is a stunning, lucid, and provocative writer. In his new book “RANGE: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World” (Riverhead Books; On Sale May 28, 2019) he turns decades of self-help advice on its head. Self-styled performance gurus (and our parents!) have all told us to specialize early, stay the course, climb the ladder. But Epstein marshals a mountain of scientific research to argue that the most impactful inventors, athletes, artists, musicians and more are the ones who cross domains, rather than deepening their knowledge in a single area. With cutting-edge research distilled into captivating prose, RANGE will change how you think about your career, your education, your hobbies, and the way you parent.
 
Plenty of experts argue that anyone who wants to develop a skill, play an instrument, or lead their field should start early, focus intensely, and rack up as many hours of deliberate practice as possible. If you dabble or delay, you'll never catch up to the people who got a head start. But a closer look at research on the world's top performers, from professional athletes to Nobel laureates, shows that early specialization is the exception, not the rule.
 
Epstein shows that in most fields—especially those that are complex and unpredictable, and difficult to automate—generalists, not specialists, are primed to excel. Generalists often find their path late, abandon projects (or even entire careers) readily, and 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.
 
Provocative, rigorous, and engrossing, RANGE explains the benefits of breadth, diverse experience, interdisciplinary thinking, and delayed concentration in a world that increasingly demands hyperspecialization. Captivating and enthralling, Epstein’s potent insights and delightful storytelling make RANGE a vital read for everyone.

Kindle Free Pick of the Week: Happier At Work: How to Love the Job You Already Have

Happier at Work!

You can love the job you currently have.

Discover the five steps you can take to bring you happiness in the job you have

Figure out how to apply these five steps to your own situation to increase your happiness at work

Your Fears
•I could spend pages describing all the reasons people give me of why they should stay in their current job.
•Do any of these sounds familiar?
•I can’t afford to leave a well-paid job
•I won’t find another job
•I won’t find another job as well-paid/convenient/close to home
•I don’t have the right qualifications to do what I really want to do
•I’m too old/young
•I’m the wrong race/gender
•I need the experience
•It’s a small industry – leaving will damage my reputation
•I don’t want ‘them’ to win

These thoughts can feel overwhelming and all too real. They may be keeping you stuck in a job that leaves you tired, sick, frustrated and miserable. They keep you where you are.

There’s a better reason to stay.

Mounting research shows that happiness is not a destination or something you are born with. It is a product of the effort you put into it.
