A discussion of the book Range by David Epstein.

Range explores the debate between generalists and specialists, examining why, as the subtitle suggests, “Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World.” The book contrasts “kind” learning environments - where patterns are repetitive and predictable - with “wicked” environments, which mirror our everyday experience, filled with unpredictability and constant variation. Epstein connects these learning environments to how we approach achieving extraordinary outcomes. Contrary to the common belief that specialization is the key to success, Epstein repeatedly demonstrates that generalization often proves more valuable in the modern world.
