Range [Adapted for Young Readers]: How Exploring Your Interests Can Change the World

by David Epstein | Illustrated by Berat Pekmezci

The #1 New York Times Bestseller―Now Adapted for Young Readers

Range challenges the long-held belief that early specialization leads to ultimate success. In this young readers edition of his bestselling book, David Epstein draws on inspiring real-life stories to show that trying many things—rather than narrowing focus too early—can lead to exceptional achievement.

For decades, conventional wisdom taught that mastery came only from focusing intensely on one skill for thousands of hours.

But as Range reveals, in unpredictable and complex fields, it’s the generalists—those who explore widely and learn from a variety of disciplines—who thrive.

This adaptation introduces young readers to trailblazing athletes, scientists, musicians, and innovators whose diverse experiences helped them reach greatness. With behind-the-scenes stories and eye-opening insights, Range encourages kids to follow their curiosity, embrace variety, and unlock their full potential.

Range: Adapted for Young Readers by David Epstein is a Perfect Book for:

• Aspiring Athletes
• Creatives
• Students
• And anyone seeking direction or confidence in their own path

A fun and accessible read for fans of social science and motivation
