Hey everyone. Did you know exactly what you wanted to do from the time you were eight and then grew up and did that thing?

Well, stop it. You're making the rest of us jealous.

This book is essentially about the rest of us, covering the benefits of passionately bouncing around from thing to thing.

Today we take an even better look at Range by David Epstein.

And this is the book pile.

A podcast about the best of books and the worst of books.

If this is your first time to the podcast, welcome.

And may we suggest checking out our back catalog of exactly 200 episodes.

Woo!

I'm Kellynette Erskine.

I'm a comic, a father.

And because of this book, each of my kids now play 100 instruments and every sport.

And all of that so that one day they can decide that they actually want to sculpt. I realize now this joke

will probably make more sense after we talk a little about the book. And I'm David Vance. I admit

I've read this book five times, which shows that if you give me a good book on taking multiple

perspectives, I will read just that book over and over.

All right.

If you enjoy the podcast, feel free to subscribe so you don't have to download it manually every week.

And if you're feeling up for it, give us a review.

If you want to see me live, just quick city rundown for the rest of the year. I'm going to be in

Palm Springs, Bakersfield, Salt Lake City, Provo, San Diego, Chicago, Alaska. I know it's not a city.

Stop yelling and be Alaska Town.
