Practical but also fun to read
In his work as an economics reporter for The New York Times, Neil Irwin has an unrivaled ability to render technical topics in a lively yet lucid way. That talent is on display here in this book, which is a sort of career guide, but one with a broader focus than most.The work world (along with the world in general) has changed around us drastically in the past 30 years or so, as technology and globalization have transformed the economy. Even as these upheavals have destroyed many jobs, they've also created new opportunities for people who can take advantage of them. But how do you manage to be one of those people who ride the waves of change instead of getting sucked under and drowned?That is the question Irwin sets out to explore here, with satisfying, specific and practical results.

Superb synthesis of key concepts
Much like David Epstein's recent book Range, How to Win in a Winner-Take-All World emphasizes the need for an interdisciplinary approach to solving problems. Rife with great examples and backed by solid research, Irwin's thesis is solid. His writing is excellent. In short, this book contains everything that I want in a non-fiction text.
