We have been deceived. For decades, psychologists, educators, coaches and HR specialists have been saying: the earlier you find your life's work, the more you will achieve in it. David Epstein, researcher, journalist, TED speaker, author of two bestselling books, convincingly proves that this approach no longer works. According to research, the vast majority of successful startups are launched not by young people, but by people over 45. More often than not, athletes who started specializing in their sport relatively late in life make it to national teams. Conversely, medical luminaries who have spent their entire lives studying a narrow range of diseases drive patients into the coffin. And the advice of super-professional financiers leads to economic crises. The world has changed, Epstein argues. Now breadth of vision is more important than experience, and a "trial period", when a person spends years trying different professions, is a prerequisite for outstanding results.
