Organizational psychologist; Wharton professor

“@AGuyInOKC Driving back across America from visiting Kid at college, I listened to this, cannot recommend it enough. @DavidEpstein wrote a fascinating and perspective changing book which, among other things, talks about just that. | @AdeshraNikunj Excellent book. He made a great argument on how different people in by taking different approaches. | @DavidEpstein?s book, Range shows us that despite common beliefs, being a generalist and focusing on many different tasks or interests at the same time pays off. The world?s top performers are usually generalists. | @DavidEpstein’s book, Range shows us that despite common beliefs, being a generalist and focusing on many different tasks or interests at the same time pays off. The world’s top performers are usually generalists. | @YashimVG @web Pick up the book "Range". When young, go broad instead of narrow. Keep exploring until you find that one thing you can't get enough of. The best marketers have a lot of breadth. | @isvictoriousss @DavidEpstein REALLY good book! | @kushal_mehra kaun khel raha hai. btw great book if you havent read/heard it already Range | @richreadalot @FlyingEyeBooks @NobrowPress @Alibrarylady @EdRoundtables @one_to_read @teacher_mr_r @MrHtheteacher @rumena_aktar @bouncemarketing @jonnybid @iwstoryfestival Got Ancient Games from @FlyingEyeBooks today to finish my set... these are just brilliant books. | After a mental block of not being able to read a book properly for 2 years, got started on this one after several recommendations and now can’t stop reading. | Discovers that in most fields , generalists, not specialists, are primed to excel. Every high school and college student should read it. | Great line from the new book (Range) by @DavidEpstein: "Compare yourself to yourself yesterday, not to younger people who aren't you." | I am rereading @DavidEpstein's wonderful book "Range" and was reminded of Karl Weick's argument that "Generalists should be the the upbeat, positive people in the profession while specialists should be their grouchy, negative counterparts." Here's Karl's complete quote | I avoid all modern pop psychology books, but this contrarian book is really good & actually eyeopening. Highly recommend. Range by @DavidEpstein | 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.” His examples run from Roger Federer to Charles Darwin to Cold Warera experts on Soviet affairs. I think his ideas even help explain some of Microsoft’s success, because we hired people who had real breadth within their field and across domains. If you’re a generalist who has ever felt overshadowed by your specialist colleagues, this book is for you. | One of the best books I’ve read in a while: Range by @DavidEpstein. It’s the kind of book that actually changes how you think about the world. | Range: how generalists triumph in a specialized world If you want the class generalist vs specialist question answered, this is the book for you. @DavidEpstein has written a beauty. One of the best reads of the year for me. | The best books I read this year. Thanks @austinkleon and @susanorlean and among others.

The best marketers have a lot of breadth. | @isvictoriousss @DavidEpstein REALLY good book! | @kushal_mehra kaun khel raha hai. btw great book if you havent read/heard it already Range | @richreadalot @FlyingEyeBooks @NobrowPress @Alibrarylady @EdRoundtables @one_to_read @teacher_mr_r @MrHtheteacher @rumena_aktar @bouncemarketing @jonnybid @iwstoryfestival Got Ancient Games from @FlyingEyeBooks today to finish my set... these are just brilliant books. | After a mental block of not being able to read a book properly for 2 years, got started on this one after several recommendations and now can’t stop reading. | Discovers that in most fields , generalists, not specialists, are primed to excel. Every high school and college student should read it. | Great line from the new book (Range) by @DavidEpstein: "Compare yourself to yourself yesterday, not to younger people who aren't you." | I am rereading @DavidEpstein's wonderful book "Range" and was reminded of Karl Weick's argument that "Generalists should be the the upbeat, positive people in the profession while specialists should be their grouchy, negative counterparts." Here's Karl's complete quote | I avoid all modern pop psychology books, but this contrarian book is really good & actually eyeopening. Highly recommend. Range by @DavidEpstein | 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.” His examples run from Roger Federer to Charles Darwin to Cold Warera experts on Soviet affairs. I think his ideas even help explain some of Microsoft’s success, because we hired people who had real breadth within their field and across domains. If you’re a generalist who has ever felt overshadowed by your specialist colleagues, this book is for you. | One of the best books I’ve read in a while: Range by @DavidEpstein. It’s the kind of book that actually changes how you think about the world. | Range: how generalists triumph in a specialized world If you want the class generalist vs specialist question answered, this is the book for you. @DavidEpstein has written a beauty.
