● 책소개

모든 인간은 다양한 잠재력을 타고 난다. 역사상 가장 뛰어난 성과를 올리며 세상에 영향력을 미친 이들은 모두 이 사실을 알고 있었다. 그러면 어째서 부모나 학교, 고용주들은 우리가 지닌 다양한 재능과 관심을 제한하고 ‘한 우물’만 파는 ‘전문가’가 되기를 바라는가? 오랜 세월 한 우물을 파는 ‘전문가’가 되어야 진리를 발견하고, 자아를 찾고, 생계를 유지할 수 있다고 철석같이 믿고 있어서다. 하지만 전문화 시스템은 이미 시대에 뒤처진 시스템으로 무지와 착취와 환멸을 조장하고, 창의력과 기회를 억누르고, 성장과 발전을 방해한다.

시대는 변했다. 새로운 지식이 샘솟듯이 넘치고 있다. 지식의 반감기는 점점 더 짧아지고 있다. AI, 로봇 등 인력을 대체할 수 있는 수단은 점점 더 많아지고 있다. 현 시대는 한 가지 우물만 파면 생존도 어려워질 것이다. 그래서 저자 와카스 아메드는 ‘폴리매스’라는 새로운 시대에 적합한 인종이 되어야 한다고 말한다. 폴리매스(Polymath)란, 사전적 의미로는 ‘박식가’를 뜻한다. 그러나 그가 말하는 폴리매스는 좀 더 깊은 뜻이 담겨 있다. 서로 연관이 없어 보이는 다양한 영역에서 출중한 재능을 발휘하며 방대하고 종합적인 사고와 방법론을 지닌 사람. 그들은 다양한 분야를 넘나들며 경계를 허물고, 연결을 통해 창의성으로 이끌며, 총체적 사고와 방법론을 사용하여 시대를 이끌어 간다.

What’s in it for me? Break free of the chains of specialization.

The fact of the matter is, as human beings, we evolved to have various skills and abilities. 
We’re naturally multifaceted and multi-talented. 

 

 

By emphasizing the pursuit of multiple interests, talents and forms of self-expression, polymathy enables us to realize our full human potential.

 

 

 

 

Pursuing polymathy enables you to contribute more meaningfully to your community and society at large.

Do you want to make a difference in the world? Then a turn to polymathy might be a good idea. The capacity to think polymathically is essential to tackling many of today’s major challenges.

Indeed, if you look back in history, you’ll find that those who’ve made the biggest contributions to society were often polymaths.

 

 

The “Cult of Specialization” that is widespread in our society leaves most people unfulfilled and frustrated.

 

 

 

Specialization makes you less able to survive changing, and volatile, work circumstances.

 

 

 

The traits that you need to cultivate in order to develop a polymathic mind are individuality, curiosity and intelligence.

 

 

 

 

In order to realize the full polymathic potential of our minds, we also need to develop the qualities of versatility, creativity and unity.

 

 

 

 

Education should promote the values of curiosity, unity and creativity, so as to better encourage children’s innate polymathic capacities.

 

 

You should pursue multiple careers simultaneously or successively in order to nurture a polymathic professional life.

 

 

 

 

Final summary

If you want to find fulfillment and achieve success, then forget everything you’ve been told about the virtues of specialization. The answer instead lies in polymathy, that is, embracing and honing the widest possible range of interests, activities and inspirations. Don’t be afraid to blaze your polymathic path. Take up pursuits that challenge you, educate yourself about topics that are beyond your field of knowledge and indulge your inner creative spirit. Actionable advice: Follow your interests. Today, devote a small slice of time to learning about a subject that piques your interest but is completely unrelated to your regular work. Curious about coding? Look up some tutorials on programming. Want to take up artistic work? Spend half an hour sketching. Not only will your brain benefit from the variety of activity, your happiness will, too.


 

 

 

 소감 ( 책 리뷰 )

내 자신이 엄청난 폴리매스여서 읽는 내내 그냥 행복회로 열심히 돌렸다. 다양한 분야에 관심이 없는 사람이라면, 앞으로 그렇게 살기 위한 좋은 자극이 될것이고, 이미 그렇게 살고있는 사람이라면, 앞으로도 계속 그렇게 살아도 된다는 긍정의 메시지를 얻을 수 있다.
