Refuse to Choose! How to Use Your Interests, Hobbies, and Passions to Build the Life and Career of Your Dreams
People can be divided into two types: scanners and divers. Divers are those who have chosen one area of interest and developed in it. Scanners, on the other hand, have too many interests and hobbies to focus on one thing.
"Scanners" want to try everything. They study the structure of a flower and music theory with equal enthusiasm. They love to travel and are interested in politics. For "scanners" the Universe is a treasure trove of millions of works of art, and there is hardly enough life to see them all. Often people who are scanners feel that time is passing by and they have not yet achieved anything. They haven't become a professional at anything. It seems that they are already an expert in one field, and then they become interested in another. Their peers, who have less talents and opportunities, have advanced far, but the "scanner" is still standing at the start. They say, "I know I should concentrate on one thing, but what exactly is it?" they say. "I get bored as soon as I realize how something is done." "I don't want to choose a career because I'm afraid I'll choose wrong." "I start so many things but hardly ever follow through with anything." If this sounds like you, chances are you are a scanner. Since this behavior is unfamiliar and misunderstood by many, you've probably been told more than once that you're doing something wrong and you need to choose one path after all. But this is a big mistake. What has been presented to you as a flaw is actually a rare gift. In this amazing book, Barbara Sher shows you how to adapt your wonderful multi-faceted mind to a world that has never really understood who you really are.
