I started following Epstein’s work after watching his fantastic 2014 TED talk on sports performance. In this fascinating book, he argues that although the world seems to demand more and more specialization—in your career, for example—what we actually need is more people “who start broad and embrace diverse experiences and perspectives while they progress.”
I think [the author's] ideas even help explain some of Microsoft's success.

Awesome discussion with David Epstein (TW: davidepstein) today discussing his two very cool books: Range and The Sports Gene. In case you’re wondering… Topo Chico was consumed (just not captured in picture!)
