Are stars like Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps, and Serena Williams genetic freaks put on Earth to dominate their respective sports? Or are they simply normal people who overcame their biological limits through sheer force of will and obsessive training? In this controversial and engaging exploration of athletic success, Sports Illustrated senior writer David Epstein tackles the great nature vs. nurture debate and traces how far science has come in solving this great riddle.

Histoire
Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn. In our daily lives, too many of us favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt. We listen to opinions that make us feel good, instead of ideas that make us think hard. We see disagreement as a threat to our egos, rather than an opportunity to learn.

From social disruptions like economic recessions, pandemics, and new technologies to individual disruptions like getting married, career transitions, and becoming a parent, we undergo change and transformation—both good and bad—regularly. Change is not the exception, it’s the rule. Yet we endlessly fight it, often viewing it as a threat to our stability and sense of self. Master of Change flips this script on its head and offers a path for embracing and even growing from life’s constant instability.

How can we originate new ideas, policies, and practices without risking it all?

And what he found looked far different than expected.

Forty years ago Israeli psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky wrote a series of breathtakingly original studies undoing our assumptions about the decision-making process. Their papers showed the ways in which the human mind erred systematically when forced to make judgments about uncertain situations. Their work created the field of behavioral economics, revolutionized Big Data studies, advanced evidence-based medicine, led to a new approach to government regulation, and made Michael Lewis' work possible.

Histoire
What is genius? The word evokes iconic figures like Einstein, Beethoven, Picasso, and Steve Jobs, whose cultural contributions have irreversibly shaped society. Yet Beethoven could not multiply. Picasso couldn’t pass a fourth grade math test. And Jobs left high school with a 2.65 GPA. The Hidden Habits of Genius explores the meaning of this contested term, and the unexpected motivations of those we have dubbed "genius" throughout history, from Charles Darwin and Marie Curie to Leonardo Da Vinci and Andy Warhol to Toni Morrison and Elon Musk.

Instead of out-drafting, out-signing, and out-trading their rivals, baseball's best minds have turned to out-developing opponents, gaining greater edges than ever by perfecting prospects and eking extra runs out of older athletes who were once written off. Lindbergh and Sawchik take us inside the transformation of former fringe hitters into home-run kings, show how washed-up pitchers have emerged as aces, and document how coaching and scouting are being turned upside down. The MVP Machine charts the future of a sport and offers a lesson that goes beyond baseball.

Scrum is the leading Agile methodology used by Fortune 500 companies and is transforming businesses everywhere. In this ever-changing world of customer expectations and new technologies, businesses need to be agile to get ahead and stay there. With Scrum, you can be ready to adapt to the inevitable change.
Auteur(s): Jeff Cohn
Description
The #1 New York Times bestseller that has all America talking: as seen/heard on CNN's Fareed Zakaria GPS, Morning Joe, CBS This Morning, The Bill Simmons Podcast, Rich Roll, and more.
“The most important business—and parenting—book of the year.”—Forbes
“Urgent and important. . . an essential read for bosses, parents, coaches, and anyone who cares about improving performance.”—Daniel H. Pink
Shortlisted for the Financial Times/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award
Plenty of experts argue that anyone who wants to develop a skill, play an instrument, or lead their field should start early, focus intensely, and rack up as many hours of deliberate practice as possible. If you dabble or delay, you’ll never catch up to the people who got a head start. But a closer look at research on the world’s top performers, from professional athletes to Nobel laureates, shows that early specialization is the exception, not the rule.
David Epstein examined the world’s most successful athletes, artists, musicians, inventors, forecasters and scientists. He discovered that in most fields—especially those that are complex and unpredictable—generalists, not specialists, are primed to excel. Generalists often find their path late, and they juggle many interests rather than focusing on one. They’re also more creative, more agile, and able to make connections their more specialized peers can’t see.
Provocative, rigorous, and engrossing, Range makes a compelling case for actively cultivating inefficiency. Failing a test is the best way to learn. Frequent quitters end up with the most fulfilling careers. The most impactful inventors cross domains rather than deepening their knowledge in a single area. As experts silo themselves further while computers master more of the skills once reserved for highly focused humans, people who think broadly and embrace diverse experiences and perspectives will increasingly thrive.
Ce que les critiques en disent
“For reasons I cannot explain, David Epstein manages to make me thoroughly enjoy the experience of being told that everything I thought about something was wrong. I loved Range.” (Malcolm Gladwell, author of Outliers and The Tipping Point)
“For too long, we’ve believed in a single path to excellence. Start early, specialize soon, narrow your focus, aim for efficiency. But in this groundbreaking book, David Epstein shows that in most domains, the way to excel is something altogether different. Sample widely, gain a breadth of experiences, take detours, and experiment relentlessly. Epstein is a deft writer, equally nimble at telling a great story and unpacking complicated science. And Range is an urgent and important book, an essential read for bosses, parents, coaches, and anyone who cares about improving performance.” (Daniel H. Pink, author of When, Drive, and A Whole New Mind)
“In a world that’s increasingly obsessed with specialization, star science writer David Epstein is here to convince you that the future may belong to generalists. It’s a captivating read that will leave you questioning the next steps in your career - and the way you raise your children.” (Adam Grant, author of Give and Take and Originals)

Completely opened my eyes!
This book not only highlighted a few of the dillemas and insecurities I'm currently facing in my life, but reframed my entire situation to show me how these experiences can be used as advantages to propel my life forward personally and professionally.

Highly recommend!
As a broad generalist, I have often been told that I need to focus my energies more into one area, and for a period in my life, I actually felt bad for being an explorer of 'everything'. This book hits me in all the right places - telling me everything I knew deep down inside but couldn't explain.
Excellent to read if you're a Jack of all trades, Master of none type, but also great to share with those people in your life that might be skeptical that being a generalist isn't the worst thing in the world.
Although the book can be a bit redundant, it is WELL worth reading to the end.
Highly recommend!

Put a smile on my face
This is one the most influential books on a personal level that I read in the last few years. I have always struggled with breadth but lack of depth. I read everything and anything! I tried many hobbies, kept some and left some. I changed paths from undergrad to masters and currently PhD. I have curiosity for knowledge about anything and everything. I noticed this early in my twenties and I thought there must be something wrong with me. Most of my peers followed through into one path and became very specialized which made me feel behind, awkward, a failure, and many other negative feelings. This book made me look at myself in a different way! I now have a different perspective on life and my progression within it! This could be my path to benefiting many people on the future!

The limitations of specialization ..
There is a German expression .. "Fachidiot". A specialist in a narrow field incapable of recognizing multifaceted problems or effectively dealing with the complexity of real life outside of their direct area of specialization.
This book is a discussion of the emphasis we are placing on such specialization.
Conventional wisdom has it that the earlier and the more narrowly someone specializes, the better.
The author makes a compelling case against this paradigm. Explaining how systemic dynamics and narrow self interest drive this mindset. How kind and wicked environments provide feedback which can either inadvertently reinforce specialization or discourage it. The author shares many examples and narratives to reinforce his point.
Over specialization is not just at times ineffective, it can even - often - be detremental.
I see some correlation with Professor Colin Cambell's excellent book "Whole". A book which discusses "reductionism" in science and nutrition.
In my humble opinion, there is a stubborn effort to avoid acceptance of creation and a Creator by some parts of our society and some of our scientists.
Reductionist dogma is born of this stubbornness. Rather than accept the "Whole" and accept that the Whole can be (and very often is) greater than its individual parts, reductionist try to bring everything down to the smallest possible part.
By specializing in these individual parts, they expect to influence the Whole. A futile attempt.
If only we find the specific gene or the one chemical or the one ...
But life does not work this way. There is deliberate synergy and an amazing complexity in all creation around us. Life was created Holistically!
An interesting read and an interesting subject.

Engaging and informative
A well researched thought with pertinent examples to ensure transference of lessons to ones own life and situations. In a society focused on hyper-specialization, this is a timely writing to remind us of the great many benefits of range (generalization).
Enjoy.

Might change your life! ... but too many stories
One of my favourite books I would say for overall content. I feel like I learned a lot reading this. It also makes you rethink how you plan to get better in your own life, in your career, how you hire, etc. and also maybe not worry so much about being behind or not being focused enough.
My main annoyance with the book was that some of the stories seemed a bit unnecessary and went on too long. Plus, the book starts off by saying how the theories of hyper specialization focus on specific success stories to prove their point. Then he uses specific success stories to prove his point throughout the whole book....
Overall would still 100% recommend.

Eye-opening
All my life, I have been labeled a quitter and have come to believe of myself as a late bloomer/sometimes a failure. At 35, I’ve never really had a stable job and am still in school trying to get accepted into medicine. I have done other things from cleaning to cooking and nursing to name a few. I have always wondered what was wrong with me. And so have other people in my life like my parents and other people I meet, who are baffled by my pursuit of education later in life and are more worried about my retirement plan than I am. I really needed this book. Thanks to it I know that all my job sampling and deep dives into my interests have not been in vain, but have been preparing me to see the bigger picture. It astounds me that we have come to view early specialization as the ideal. I won’t ever look at it in the same light. If you are a self-professed late bloomer, you will definitely benefit from reading this book, as so few books talk about this important topic.
