Episode notes

Malcolm Gladwell and NPR's John Sutter met for the first time at an MIT conference. The two have been friends since their early days as journalists in New York City. They've had a rocky relationship, with Gladwell critiquing his work more than once. Now they're working together on a new book called "The Tipping Point"

You know Malcolm Gladwell's “10,000-Hour Rule.” But did you know that, according to David Epstein, it doesn't work? That's what Epstein argues in his new book, “Range: Why Generalists Triumph In A Specialized World.” In this episode, Malcolm Gladwell talks with Epstein about why a broad range of experiences in life is actually the best way to find success.
