OUTSIDE: What was the biggest surprise to you in researching and reporting Range?ĭAVID EPSTEIN: The single most surprising study in the book, to me, was conducted at the U.S. I recently caught up with him to discuss why you should prioritize growing your range. In Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World, Epstein argues that going broad-not narrow-is the best route to lasting success and wellbeing. Now, Epstein is back with a new book that slays yet another sacred cow: the notion that if you want to achieve peak performance, you should specialize early on. The book debunked the then-celebrated 10,000-hour rule, or the notion that you could be great at anything with 10,000 hours of practice. In 2014, science writer David Epstein rocked the sports world with his debut book, The Sports Gene, which uncovered the vast impact of innate talent on athletic performance and showed readers how they could nurture their nature.
