About this listen

Every human is born with multifarious potential. Why, then, do parents, schools, and employers insist that we restrict our many talents and interests - that we "specialize" in just one?

We've been sold a myth, that to "specialize" is the only way to pursue truth, identity, or even a livelihood. Yet specialization is nothing but an outdated system that fosters ignorance, exploitation, and disillusionment and thwarts creativity, opportunity, and progress.

Following a series of exchanges with the world's greatest historians, futurists, philosophers, and scientists, Waqas Ahmed has weaved together a narrative of history and a vision for the future that seeks to disrupt this prevailing system of unwarranted "hyper-specialization".

In The Polymath, Waqas shows us that there is another way of thinking and being. Through an approach that is both philosophical and practical, he sets out a cognitive journey towards reclaiming your innate polymathic state. Going further, he proposes nothing less than a cultural revolution in our education and professional structures, whereby everyone is encouraged to express themselves in multiple ways and fulfill their many-sided potential.

Listening to this audiobook has been by far one of the most transcending and liberating experience I have ever had. It lifted my soul and mind to realize potential is life. Potentiality is in the cracks of what we make of it. The time is to make a great life for yourself by being true to your nature as a celestial being on this planet.

If you choose to get this book, I can assure you that you won’t be disappointed. I’ve listened to it twice, and I’m sure I will come back to listen to it again, even if only as a reference, This book is so jampacked with relevant information about so many people from so many cultures through history, that lived their lives in a way that was comparable to Leonardo da Vinci, or even to Michelangelo. It shows what we are all capable of and I was impacted by this book.

This book is worth listening to!

Mic quality's well done with so much wind blown. A self-help flavored 'My favorite people' column following tiresome exaggerating of gender.

Mastermind dictionary with feminism to be bought
