ABOUT THE BOOK
Range examines careers and learning environments in which early specialization is not the only useful path. Epstein asks how varied experience helps people adapt when a problem is unfamiliar or feedback is difficult to interpret.
A CLOSER LOOK
The story behind it.
An argument for breadth, exploration, and experience across fields.
Transfer across domains
Analogies and knowledge from another field can change how a problem is approached. Range places that form of learning beside the benefits of specialized practice.
