The Case for Generalists
We're tied up with Foolapalooza this week, so for this episode of Motley Fool Money, we're re-airing an interview with bestselling author David Epstein about his most recent book, Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World. Learn why generalists make for better, happier workers; the problem with the 10,000 hour rule, and what Malcom Gladwell had to say about it; the critical nuance in the concept of grit that too many conversations gloss over; the glaring issues with modern-day science funding; why we're doing youth sports all wrong in the U.S., why we're able to get away with that, and how we could do better; and much more.
