A few years ago, I became aware of the Warren Buffett Learner's Lifestyle where he spends 80% of his time reading and thinking.

"That sounds AMAZING!" I thought to myself.

Today, I spend 4-5 hours per day reading, thinking, and experimenting, and our business is doing the best it ever has. I'm like a kid in the candy store.

2. What it means to truly lead a learning lifestyle where you make career and lifestyle choices based #1 on what will lead to the most learning.

3. How to transition to a learning lifestyle where most of your day is filled with reading, thinking, and experimentation.

The warning against being a generalist has persisted for hundreds of years in dozens of languages. “Equipped with knives all over, yet none is sharp,” warn people in China. In Estonia, it goes, “Nine trades, the tenth one — hunger.”

Yet, many of the most impactful individuals , both contemporary and historical, have been generalists: Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Richard Feynman, Ben Franklin, Thomas Edison, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Marie Curie to name just a few.

What’s going on here?

If being a generalist was the path to mediocrity, why did a comprehensive study of the most significant scientists in all of history uncover that 15 of the 20 were polymaths? Newton. Galileo. Aristotle. Kepler. Descartes. Huygens. Laplace. Faraday. Pasteur. Ptolemy. Hooke. Leibniz. Euler. Darwin. Maxwell — all polymaths.
