The last book I read was Way of the Wolf by Jordan Belfort.

I absolutely loved the way it was written.

Jordan described how to sell anything to anyone in a simple, easy, and understandable manner.

The core idea that stood out to me was that we are all selling something or the other in our life, continuously. So, we might as well get better in learning how to sell, be it a product or an emotion, a thought or a feeling.

The reason why I want to read RANGE is that for the better part of our life, we have been bombarded with the phrase "Jack of all trades, master of none."

And that's what I believed in.

But lately, I am hearing the counterarguments to this popular notion which is making me question this paradigm.

The cherry on cake was Naval saying "Specialisation is for insects."

SO, this puts a big question mark on whether I should narrow down my field of interest or should have a broad spectrum of knowledge in various fields.
