This book celebrates those of us who believe that we should “dance in different disciplines”, meander in experiences, and not confuse a too early obsession with grit. In a time where year round and travel team youth sports have taken over, this is a testament to the value of learning and thinking from a wide range of disciplines and perspectives. Great book!

Like what the author says “There is nothing inherently wrong with specialization.We all specialize to one degree or another.” However, we should also stay curious and keep learning to expand our knowledge of different fields.

Like the author‘s advice: “don‘t feel behind; “Compare yourself to yourself yesterday, not to younger people who are not you.”; and
Everyone progresses at a different rate, so don‘t let anyone else make you feel behind.”

Joined the Literati book club (anyone else?) and this garnered my interest. So, we‘ll see…. Really interested in knowing if any others are members of that book club and what you think.

Interesting book about the importance of not specializing to soon.
