Summary:
Every human is born with multifarious potential. Why, then, do parents, schools and employers demand that we restrict our many skills and interests; that people ‘specialize’ in only one?
We’ve been marketed a myth, that to ‘specialize’ may be the only way to pursue truth, identity, or perhaps a livelihood. However specialization is only an outdated program that fosters ignorance, exploitation, and disillusionment and thwarts creativity, opportunity, and improvement.
Following a series of exchanges with about The Polymath: Unlocking the energy of Human Versatility the world’s greatest historians, futurists, philosophers, and scientists, Waqas Ahmed offers weaved together a narrative of history and a vision for the future that seeks to disrupt this prevailing system of unwarranted ‘hyper-specialization.’
In The Polymath, Waqas shows us that there is another thought process and being. Through an approach that’s both philosophical and useful, he units out a cognitive trip towards reclaiming your innate polymathic condition. Going further, he proposes nothing significantly less than a social revolution in our education and professional buildings, whereby many people are encouraged to express themselves in multiple ways and fulfill their many-sided potential.
