Extreme specialisation seems to be correlated with unhappiness so it might be better to be good at many things if you want to have a happy life.
- matonias 10y agoWhere did you find that specialisation seems to be correlated with unhappiness?
- danieltillett 10y agoThis is just my observation. Like anything involving people the best you can do is correlation (too many outliers), but the driving factor seems to be people get locked into a path early in their life and find it hard to walk away from all they have committed to their specialisation when they later find they don't actually like what they have spent their life becoming good at.
