Range
Earlier today I finished reading, Range (by David Epstein), an interesting book that makes a case of learning about multiple disciplines (becoming a "generalist") vs. specializing early in life (becoming a "specialist"). I found the case to be compelling probably because I am a generalist with broad experience. Charlie Munger has talked about the same idea for decades. The study of complex systems is based on breaking the boundaries of academic disciplines. The world needs both specialists and generalists. A lot more specialists than generalists. Regardless, one has to pursue disciplines one is curious about. Some people are curious about a lot of things.
