This book is a great place to start if you are a multipassionate person :) Or, as the author likes to call you, a multipotentialite! This means that you have many interests, skills, and talents that reach across different fields, leading you to resist choosing just one pursuit. Multipotentialites often lack one true calling, and then compare themselves to specialists, thinking there is something wrong with them.

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU!

This video is all about the book,
How to be Everything by Emilie Wapnick - a.co/d/3X8Icnd
Where I go through a detailed summary, letting you know the important parts of the book. Of course, there’s more to be said, so please get yourself a copy of the book so you can learn for yourself!

I have renamed the parts for the sake of my summary, but they more or less line up with the order of the book if you’re trying to read along 🙂

    Ohh I was so happy when you mentioned video game development. I am a game developer myself and as soon started talking about the definition of multipotentialites I immediately thought - oh this sounds like people who would be ideal for working in indie game development, hehe :D Because there are so many different things you can do, designing, art, programming, music, marketing, writing... So I guess I learned a new word to describe myself.

    4th view. This has always been a challenge in my life, and it's interesting to read about other people with the same problem
  • @polyglotmona
    Very interesting and easy to follow, thank you 🙏 I always feel I should not do so many different things, but I really get bored when I do less.

    In college, I struggled with vastly different career ideas so much (concert promotion, volcanology, art director...). I ended up choosing to be an elementary school teachers which has been pretty fulfilling. It became more fulfilling as a GT Specialist. It lets me tickle my many interests at work and provides challenge. I do get tired, but I have gotten pretty good at sneaking in habits to help balance my interests.

    This is a very well done and thoughtful video. Thanks for posting. You have exposed me to a new way of thinking about things that is very helpful. You've given me a lot to think about. Thanks 💕
  • @AnewForemost
    Thank you so much! I took several tips to apply. Excellent video, Genie :D. (Besides, apart from the fact that you are inspiring, you seem very friendly and your tone of voice is calm, so the video is super nice/enjoyable/agreeable/lighthearted to watch!). 🙌🏻
  • @knw-seeker6836
    This exactly me never would’ve thought there is a book about it Would be interesting to know if this works also if you have to learn several subjects at school
  • @geoffreyguist5000
    thanks for sharing about this book and your opinions on it, great information! I both watch and upload a lot of videos related to personal development and book reviews, but have never thought about specialist versus generalist
  • @thatgirldaria
    this is a great video! As someone who has so many interest that sometimes it feels overwhelming, this was very insightful. I wanna read the book now <3
  • @3bks
    the video is very good. but seems that the audio is a little closed
