Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World by David Epstein

3.0

though i found some of the subject matter objectionable like the many stories dedicated to the miliarty and ceos, though the latter i was expecting a lot more, i appreciated the overall message. i am obsessed with so many things and i feel as if i want to be carravigo, virgina woolf and alan turing in one person and tho its unlikely ill ever reach anywhere near their levels of skill or greatness, i need to hear that i dont need to just force myself to oil paint everyday or just code or just draw or whatever and still be successful. many great artists i admire have a similar array of related or random interests other than the specialisation or profession they are known for.

this isnt a book i usually read however one of my art teachers recommended it to me so i read it and honestly, i'm glad i did.
