Just finished reading Range by @DavidEpstein and had a great discussion on it so here's my top takeways/anecdotes from the book

1. It's okay to keep exploring interests and career paths while everyone seems to be rushing to specialise. Knowing things is not as important as knowing yourself.
2. It's also okay to quit something. Saying that winners never quit is untrue. Remember that actual winners quit fast and move to the next best thing for them.
3. If you are a generalist it is tricky to get better at it. There's no silver bullet way to do that
3.1 A common pattern observed with great generalists is knowing when to speak to a specialist and asking them the right questions
4. So it's important to surround yourself with people who are different and build meaningful relationships with them. Going out of the immediate world you are in can be great. For eg. Darwin had over 321 penpals spanning atleast 13 fields.
5. Try to seek out as many learning experiences as possible in environments that are 'wicked' (doesn't have patterns, set rules ) rather than 'kind' ones. You will feel better in the 'kind' environments in the short term but will acquire more breadth with 'wicked' ones
5.1 Breadth of learning predicts breadth of transferring what you learnt. So the more contexts in which you learn something the more you'd be able to apply it across domains and not just in specific cases.
6. Speed of learning is overrated. It is a misleading milestone to have. Focus on pacing yourself instead
7. If you are a generalist, remember that you are one in a specialist world. So be patient and kind to yourself. It is a long term game after all.
Nothing beats actually reading the book so thank you @richardcrng and @INCLUDED_VC for the recommendation.
