I really enjoyed this book, probably because it felt very validating. I think this is a great book to read with Angela Duckworth's Grit. It's a great counterpoint to a lot of the ideas in that book, though I can see how both viewpoints don't necessarily contradict each other.

The book was dry at times, but I love the concepts explored.

Interesting hypothesis- expanding breadth vice depth - being interdisciplinary- may prove more significant to success (however it may be defined).
Resonant phrases (for me): mental meandering, withered technology, and match quality.

I regained some confidence reading this book as I'm almost 30 and feel like this is it. That's my life. The leap of faith should be taken.

Going into reading this book I found myself at a bit of a crossroads in my career, unsure of how to proceed and lacking the confidence to make the decisions I wanted to make.

Range was a liberating listen/read, eye-opening of the possibility that life provides when you remove the focus of needing to specialize so soon in one’s life. It was equal parts empowering and therapeutic, as if someone had taken all the negative voices in my head and written out arguments against them. For my life and where I find myself, this book was simply every I could ask for.
