I won't lie I picked this up at B&N because of the Buy 1 Get 1 50% off sale and all the other choices were meh besides the other book I originally wanted. It was an interesting read, and I learned a lot of things. Hilariously, it referenced Grit by Angela Duckworth which was my previous read before this. Mostly I appreciated the various stories and references that showed you don't have to specialize in something from your youth, as people are often able to be more successful when they haven't specialized in something from very young. Of course there are some exceptions, but it was heartening to read.

Really interesting premise that probably should have been an article in Sports Illustrared

This one was a bit of surprise for me.
it was recommended by a colleague and i was unsure if it was suited for me. it was.
t takes an opposing view to the 10,000hours view of becoming an expert but crucially specifies where this is applicable. The book is packed with real-world examples of the application of range.
Very interesting.

I buy the argument. The chapters and examples didn't really feel distinct. Just the same case being made a dozen different ways. I will think about the big idea again in the future. I'm not sure about the individual examples. I think it'll be a fine book club book.

I read only 55% because an interesting concept was ruined by a very dry, repetitive long-winded book.
