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