Event Details

Chat with NYT bestselling author David Epstein about his most recent book, Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World

Provocative, rigorous, and engrossing, Range makes a compelling case for actively cultivating inefficiency. 

After examining the world’s most successful athletes, artists, musicians, inventors, forecasters, and scientists; Epstein discovered in most fields—especially the complex and unpredictable—generalists are primed to excel. Generalists many interests allow them to be more creative, agile, and capable of making connections more specialized peers can't see. As society evolves, people who think broadly, embrace diverse experiences and perspectives will thrive.
