Malcolm Gladwell sits down with bestselling author, acclaimed journalist, and renowned TED speaker David Epstein to discuss his book "Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World."
“What do you want to be when you grow up?”
It’s a question we all faced time and again when we were young. Fully grown adults would loom over us with a grin, and expect us to make a reasonable guess about how we would feed our families some thirty years into the future.
It seems like a benign, if slightly absurd, form of interrogation, although it reinforces a widespread assumption about success-that we must decide on a path through life as early as possible, and stick to it with unwavering dedication. After all, we spend our lives competing with others who apply to the same colleges, send résumés to the same jobs, and vie for the same promotions. We can’t afford to fall behind by focusing on unrelated pursuits-it’s a waste of time.
Or at least, that’s what we’ve been taught. But bestselling author, acclaimed journalist, and renowned TED speaker David Epstein contends that we’ve had it all wrong. In Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World, Epstein explains that our personalities, along with our skills and passions, change significantly over time, and that we rarely discover what roles feel right until we actually try them. So it’s not just difficult to stick to a single long-term plan-it’s ill-advised.
Combining cutting-edge social science and a knack for captivating storytelling, Epstein explains why we should stop stressing about getting off-track, and instead feel free to pursue the full spectrum of our interests. By taking unexpected detours and exploring unrelated areas, we arrive at exactly where we’re meant to be.
00:38 Gladwell and Epstein's friendship, evolving from professional debates to personal interactions, fueled intellectual growth.
08:16 ️‍️ Epstein advocates for delaying specialization for long-term development.
11:26 Matching abilities and interests optimizes motivation and success.

I am interested in hearing about the methodologies of reflecting that are implemented and the code of ethics that the military is using in their statistical evaluations. If the objective is to provide a wide ranging framework of interest to incentivize recruitment, building trust and treatment for veterans is, in my belief, a crucial building block in fostering a reliable group of individuals that represent some of the best and brightest of this nation. Gratitude to those who serve this country.

One thing that has become increasingly clear to me is that no one talks about scale. The examples David uses almost always includes people in a narrow pool. Chess, tennis and golf are very elitist sports that have a small sample size. In defining greatness or attributes that lead to it, people that need to be studies are people such as Messi. To be dubbed the greatest player in the world in a sport where virtually every kid has played football (soccer), is an incredible feat. Examples about basketball or even American based sports are are still based on an extremely small sample size and devalue the importance of the 10 000 rule, which by the way is simply why Messi is the GOAT.

I’ve found this approach works beautifully in IT, scaled to a team setting. It’s already been extrapolated into classroom settings in some places. See the Agile Manifesto and The Scrum Guide.

Soccer first then basketball is one of the ways to have a competitive advantage, but also, as we may recall, Ballet and Dance will deliver a competitive advantage in Football.

Korean higher education assesses your skillset at the end of high school and offers you one only tertiary option based on your strength. Students are so disciplined to study conditioning they generally accept. Competition, and the idea your nation needs you to be optimised to defend it, that compliance is strong, and individuality takes a back seat

@silviavanderheiden5123 Год назад

in my early 30s or so i had a curiosity about the paranormal and psychology. Then these interests got me to go deeper and explore related subjects like anthropology, zoologie, in a round about way, and there were many other subjects around that time that got mentioned or whatever and I then wanted to know more about. Turned me into an autodidact and eclectic 'mind'... And the wanting to learn and know, was such a delightful process - after quitting college because just not happy anymore etc. Wish schools could somehow know how to use this... I could say so much more on this all, but unfortunately have to get ready for work...😁

The reason why I think we like the tiger model is because, parents what to think they are engineers of there child's life, like they have control over what they do in life, how good they are at it, and much they succeed. Truth is parents are not engineers but shepherds. Another reason excepting the other model shows alot of stuff is out of our hands. Aka your genome. You can work as hard as you want have all the advantages of money, clout....but someone that is 5 ft. Tall still would never play point guard for the Lakers

The very small amount of comments and low the quality of this talk shows me clearly how overvalued the hype on these psedo thinkers and writers are. Like the music industry. Completely lost respect for Gladwell selfimportant vibe, especially after seeing him debate Matt taibi and murray and realize he is part of the big problem of intellectuals running along unscientic ideas and give space to totalitarian state control, regressing democracy into a downward spiral of manipulated narrow political correctness all to easy to see used for maintaining and missusing power by the usual power people in top lying and spinning a easyseen web of contructed false naratives, where any real intelligent research and modest observation would put them against this control narrative. We had great thinkers in history who supported democracy, but this pack just run along to pick up the next bookcontract or wellpaid lecture to catch the dimes from their master pockets like sheeps. Sad, when intellectuals who should be able to think critical and muster up some fight normally with oppression and wars, like vietnam, but what do we see.. They sleep beneath the wolfs feet blind to the tyranny they inable. Im normally middleleft former bookstore owner and have spend much of my life`s reading and pondering life big questions. I will listen to Jordan Peterson or Jimmy Dore any day over these sleepy guys , and listen and read those who actually gives a shit about normal people and have a sense of humour. These egobloated lost souls are in love with their own twisted minds that are not that impressive unless you only read one book a month or year. This Pseudo ego babble is speaking to the big city spoiled uppermiddleclasses who dont know who they are and forgot to see what is happening right infront of them in real life. I advice to STOP the warmongering and support only clever people on both sides of power and else put the hardest critic forth, as if our lifes depend on it. lazy intellectual bastards is what I see. For sure our kids lifes will suffer from the lack of direct protest from those who should know better and work against this insane tyranny instead of thinking Putin is the real problem. He is no a good man, but the downfall in democratic societies we see comes from within the west and the elite`s wrong doing merging corperate oligarchy with social green ideas to convert public and control perception of reality. Its mainly all a manipulation and media supported grip of the manufactured narrative to further special interest. Demented Idiots at the top in the west put there by the power within and is a laughing stock of the world and shows how dangerously far out things are now. Here in scandinavia is lighter touch but things are going in wrong direction. If you cant see Biden and the government is corrupt to the core, and the admin. previous too you are blind ! Look deeper and have an open mind like child to learn and be curious every day. we all need to do our bit to turn this totalitarian AI nano and techhappy tyranny ship around before its too late. How little people are reading books and the lack of attension span now should tells something is not well and its not about Putin or climate. Sorry my rant, people, but this is serious times.

The thing is, while maybe Malcolm makes the point that physical presence determines how people view a thing to a few people, as a general point, so what? He, David, the General Public *_all have_* POVs based upon non-factors that continue well after listening to this. If the garbage in your home is starting to smell or a loved one gets cancer, does anyone think "I need to hold a rally & get members of the General Public to scream about this" in order to fix either thing? Would that make the garbage magically take itself out? Would it cause the tumors to shrink? Why does everyone in Western society think that screaming their frustrations at the Sky-Gods causes some Great Force For Good (GFFG) to respond to what they're whining about? That's just it: neither of these guys have a *clue* as to _why_ people think a certain way or why any of what they're talking about happens. They're _only_ flinging their own opinions around. What's the point of _that?_ Like protestors, are they *intentionally avoiding* the root causes of things? Yes & no. The problem is that people adopt POVs *because having those makes us feel like we belong to a collective* or a GFFG is on our side. Subconsciously, our subconscious (SC) acts like a 4-year-old complete with wish-fulfillment fantasies. When we _search for_ some over-arching philosophy for some valid explanation as to explaining anything, the instant one appeals to us in part, the SC thinks _"That's_ The One" then it also starts seeing everything through it. *That's how* the SC works: "I wouldn't have adopted this POV if it didn't solve *All Problems,* so my POV _must be_ *THE* Correct One. Adults _can be_ nuanced. We can see how taxes going toward social programs might be a good thing. What about when they go to subsidies for corporations that don't need them like oil ones, who then share back a % of this with the very people who gave them those subsidies? allaregreen.us/. That's 100% theft, right? But your SC can't do nuance at all. Like I said, it's like a 4-year-old. The SC inner 4-year-old sees the *idea **_of_** taxes* as either 100% good or 100% bad. & you'll notice that even people who argue 100% against taxes deliberately avoid the good aspects of them. The underlying problem here ... well, *everywhere* when you think about it is that while making a reactive knee-jerk decision as to what you believe makes sense at an instant, most people never then put themselves through a process of review. It's like, once having adopted a POV, it becomes THE GFFG forever after that point. But listen to how mentally blocked both of these men are by their POVs: same goes for anyone who never reviews their POV or analyzes _why_ they retain it. & then we try to make excuses for things based upon the 4-year-old's desire to retain the POV as if it is our oldest, dearest friend - not based upon the merits of the circumstance. When people protest, they have adopted a POV of a caring Living Entity that they think of when they think of 'Government' because a 4-year-old can't even talk to both its parents at once if it's unsure. 4-year-olds can't juggle two conversations _and_ stress. But adults? D'uh. So if everyone were to take just a little bit of time to stop themselves & review what they think or were about to say, & maybe realize that it isn't rational, pertinent or was going to fix the problem such as the garbage needing taking out, or the cancer cured, we'd end up fixing most social problems by remembering that politicians are massively corrupt individuals who are stealing from us that we need to hold accountable, & stop begging them to rescue us. Thus removing their power to remove our rights. Hey: you can always go back to behaving like 4-year-olds right after fixing this one easily-solved problem.
