Stephen Leeds ist vollkommen gesund. Es sind seine Halluzinationen, die alle ziemlich verrückt sind – Exklusiv als Audio-Original. Stephen Leeds ist ein Ein-Mann-Expertenteam und ein Genie mit beispiellosen geistigen Fähigkeiten, das in nur wenigen Stunden ganze wissenschaftliche Disziplinen erlernen kann. Diese Fähigkeiten haben jedoch ihren Preis. Stephen muss sein Gehirn aufteilen, wobei jede seiner neuen Fähigkeiten mit einem »Aspekt« verbunden ist – einer Halluzination, die sein Verstand erzeugt. Und jeder Aspekt hat sein Eigenleben, einschließlich eigener Persönlichkeit.

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. But a closer look at research on the world’s top performers 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.

Spezialisierung sei der Schlüssel zum Erfolg, sagen viele Experten. Um Fähigkeiten, Instrumente oder Themengebiete zu beherrschen, müsse man früh anfangen und lange üben. David J. Epstein analysiert in seinem Bestseller Top-Performer in Wirtschaft und Wissenschaft, Ausnahmekünstler wie Vincent van Gogh und Profisportler wie Roger Federer oder Tiger Woods und belegt: Das ist eher die Ausnahme, denn die Regel! Generalisten legen vielleicht später los, dafür aber meist kreativer, agiler und mit Blick über den Tellerrand.

A one-man team of experts, Stephen Leeds is a genius of unparalleled mental capabilities who can learn new skills or master entire scholarly disciplines in mere hours. However, these skills come at a price. Stephen must compartmentalize his brain, with each of his new skill sets being held by an “aspect”—a hallucination his mind creates with their own fully-developed personality, life, and limitations. Without these aspects, and the delicate construct of reality they provide for him, Stephen is unable to control his mind and engage with the real world.

Stephen Leeds está perfectamente cuerdo. Son sus alucinaciones las que están completamente locas. Un equipo de un solo hombre, Stephen Leeds, es un genio con capacidades mentales incomparables que puede aprender nuevas habilidades o dominar disciplinas académicas enteras en cuestión de horas. Sin embargo, estas habilidades tienen un precio. Stephen debe compartimentar su cerebro, y cada una de sus nuevas habilidades está sujeta a un "aspecto": una alucinación que su mente crea con su propia personalidad, vida y limitaciones completamente desarrolladas.

We live in a world that gives us seemingly infinite choices and values freedom above all else. We have an unprecedented number of options regarding what to do, who to be, and how to spend our time. All that choice is wonderful; it is also overwhelming. The irony is that total freedom can be paralyzing, and unlimited resources don’t necessarily lead to the biggest breakthroughs. In fact, overvaluing complete freedom can be disastrous for everything from starting a company to harnessing creativity to finding personal satisfaction.

Packed with "compelling inside stories" (Chicago Tribune), Teammate is the inspiring memoir from "Grandpa Rossy", the veteran catcher who became the heart and soul of the 2016 Chicago Cubs championship team and was named manager in 2019. In 2016 the Cubs snapped a 108-year curse, winning the World Series in a history-making, seven-game series against the Cleveland Indians.

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.
