This is an automatically translated description

Narrow specialisation is now the exception rather than the rule, so to be successful, you need to have knowledge from several different areas, instead of delving into one. David Epstein has researched the stories of the world's best athletes, artists, inventors and scientists and concluded that flexibility and diverse experience are the key to true achievement. These observations are supported by numerous scientific and statistical data. From this book, you will learn why long, hard training does not always give the desired result, while constant defeats will help you build the perfect career. Get rid of the stereotypes that have been imposed by the education system for years and learn how to acquire universal knowledge and implement it in any field.

For reasons I can't explain, David Epstein manages to make me take great pleasure in being convinced that all my thoughts are wrong.
