Author Talk with David Epstein: Bestselling author of RANGE and THE SPORTS GENE
1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
You’re invited to a conversation withNew York Timesbestselling author David Epstein as he chats about his most recent book,Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World.
What’s the most effective path to success in any domain? It’s not what you think.
Plenty of experts argue that anyone who wants to develop a skill, play an instrument, or lead their field should start early, focus intensely, and rack up as many hours of deliberate practice as possible. If you dabble or delay, you’ll never catch up to the people who got a head start. But a closer look at research on the world’s top performers, from professional athletes to Nobel laureates, shows that early specialization is the exception, not the rule.
David Epstein examined the world’s most successful athletes, artists, musicians, inventors, forecasters, and scientists. He discovered that in most fields—especially those that are complex and unpredictable—generalists, not specialists, are primed to excel. Generalists often find their path late, juggling many interests rather than focusing on one. They’re also more creative, agile, and able to make connections their more specialized peers can’t see.
Provocative, rigorous, and engrossing, Range makes a compelling case for actively cultivating inefficiency. Failing a test is the best way to learn. Frequent quitters end up with the most fulfilling careers. The most impactful inventors cross domains rather than deepening their knowledge in a single area. As experts silo themselves further while computers master more of the skills once reserved for highly focused humans, people who think broadly and embrace diverse experiences and perspectives will increasingly thrive.

Beyond the Sea: The Life and Music of Bobby Darin
7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
BEYOND THE SEA: The Life and Music of Bobby Darin is an interactive program which entertains and enlightens audiences about everything Bobby Darin -not just the music but also the hurdles, trials and tribulations of this self made man.
Being the official Darin archivist and working in conjunction with Dodd Darin and the Bobby Darin estate, I decided to make this a tad different than other lectures by giving audiences a chance to see and hear Bobby at times during the video presentation. I, being the man who documents and houses a great deal of Bobby Darin music and video (some never released), decided to bring Bobby Darin’s story and music to life by utilizing Bobby himself, with me being the MC and lesion to carry the story along. I also do Q&A with the audience as well as bringing some legitimate Bobby Darin memorabilia for the guests to see. The program may be classified as a traveling show/museum. -Jimmy Scalia
