Did you wake up one morning and just decide that what you wanted to do with your life involved not just one specialty area but many? Was the question in your twelfth grade guidance counselorÕs office about what you wanted to major in at college just too daunting to answer? Or, maybe you were born this way? Maybe, letÕs just say Ð that deep down inside your secret answer to what I wanted to be when I grew up was an astronaut/chef/author/coach/dietician/police officer/politician/philanthropist/race car driver! But why didnÕt you answer this way when you were in kindergarten? Were youÕre curious to find out as you know following just one path your whole career just doesnÕt feel right? Whether you are a specialist or a generalist Ð we need both in this world. I know you know what a specialist does. Specialists specialize in one thing and we need them to survive. But what if you were told that a generalist is just as important for our world? What if youÕre a generalist but donÕt even know it? What if you have been feeling like I felt while going through school and you finally want to make sense of this superpower and how you can use it in your future? ThatÕs what you will work through as you read this book. Think about some modernized versions of Ben Franklin. Look at these people and how they have changed the world Ð all because they exercised their license in being anything (and everything) they wanted to be. I share more in depth what a generalist is and does. I share with you different types as well. IÕll share how you can figure out if you are actually a scanner type or ready to head down the path of slash careerist. I show you why we donÕt hear that much about people wanting to be polymaths, renaissance types, jacks-of-all-trades and the like. Eventually, if you figure out that you are one of these types or want to build your career this way Ð CONGRATULATIONS! I show you how to celebrate this, how to exploit this power, and how to make sense of all the feelings you have been having of Ònot belongingÓ or Òfeeling different.Ó I share with you my personal stories of living a ÒgeneralistÕs lifeÓ inside of a ÒspecialistÕs world.Ó By the end of this book you will start to identify others in history who have woven and cobbled a dozen careers together because nobody told them they couldnÕt. You will learn to understand the power of a generalist Ð whether you are one, want to be one, or want to HIRE ONE! Regardless, you will win!
