371. David Epstein: The bright future of a curious generalist (IN ENGLISH)

We have all heard about the popular 10,000 hour rule by now. But is it really true that early specialization and deliberate practice is the golden key to success throughout life?

Christian met David in Stockholm at his Swedish publisher Volante for a brief talk about this fascinating subject. // Podcast host: Christian von Essen // Learn more at hejaframtiden.se and check out our other episodes in English.
