Fun book on the potential for greatness often hidden in breadth of experience and parallels across industries, new applications vs the hyper specialized push for early success we see most often.

Although this was interesting and incredibly validating to those of us who're dabblers with a wide range of interests, the book was also confirmation bias galore.

An uplifting book for all those, who are not specialised. An interesting perspective that underlines the superiority of heterogeneous teams, despite the arising challenges. Particularly intriguing were the last few chapters, as I myself have worked through the mentioned racing-case study and the learnings are even deeper than those we discussed in class.

Don’t feel behind.
As a jack of all trades, master of none myself, it’s very encouraging to have a book remind you of the benefits (and sometimes even advantages) of twisting in the wind.

Generalists are more adept at adaptation.

A good compilation of studies on education learning. Communication and leading.
My favorite teaching from this though is how to think now expansively... solve and understand connections rather than just follow a pattern, or procedure, lateral thinking, outside perspective advantag s and slow solutioning. Also, how there can be too much grit, and the advantage of quitting.. Sunk cost fallacy applies to time spent not just money spent, for real!... learning how to leave your familiar tools for sometime new or different, and the immense advantage of learning new things outside your area of expertise on an ongoing manner and the value of spending time in that learning effort.
