Summary of Range by David Epstein
In Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World, David Epstein argues that having a broad range of experiences and skills can lead to greater success than deep specialization.

The book highlights the importance of diverse learning experiences, experimentation, and the ability to pivot in one’s career.
