Educational & Interesting. This was a very well written book. The ideas and opinions were backed by facts or research. The first half is super interesting, keeps your attention well. The last few chapters can be hard to follow with all the tech and engineering stuff. Again, I really enjoyed it and I’m glad I read it.

Jack of all Trades. The saying a “jack of all trades is a master of none,” is regularly used out of context. The full saying is a “jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.” This book gets to the heart of that concept. More specifically, David Epstein goes on an exploration into the merits and failings of specialists and generalists alike. To the surprise of many, the “successful” are often people who weave their way to the final expression of their potential. They go about picking up skills and experiences along the way that congeal into an alchemy of ability, insight, and drive. Conversely, we learn about the dangers of specialization. Specifically, the hyper silos we create that result in tunnel vision and the concurrent systemic issues. Epstein dismantles the idea of tiger parenting and pathways to expertise from the first page. He shows how flexibility and range in experiences lead to greater potential for success. Using a wide ranging collection of anecdotal stories, study based findings, and personal reflections we get an argument for perhaps the most important perspective shift for education in decades.

Never made a point. Maybe the most boring book I’ve ever attempted to read. Took forever for the author to try to get to a point which frankly never arrived. I tried but I had to bail on the book. Goes to show you that heavily promoted books aren’t always good. That just spend more on marketing prior to launch.

I’m defense of a broad based education. Epstein does a great job of making the case for why we should try to build broad humans with diverse experiences vs automotons. Filled with lots of great anecdotes and examples I found myself frequently highlighting it throughout.

Wonderful. This book will change how you think about everything.

Not bad. Good but so many names to keep in mind

Outstanding. Deeply researched and well written, contains all kinds of interesting and relevant ideas. Timely book in an age of hyper-specialization

Motivating for me…. …not being a specialist. A good case is made for the value of generalists. Reminiscent of the problem of the concrete that wouldn’t set in El Salvador, solved by a labourer (personal story). This is a worthwhile read.

"You are not behind". "Compare yourself today with yourself yesterday." If you want to feel good about broadening your scope and not being narrow-minded and focused on only one topic, this book is for you.
