Happy to read you found the book frustrating in the same ways I did!

As someone early in their career I found myself unable to make the points actionable in my own life. I could make a very long list of stuff I'd like to spend a year pursuing. While all provide range, not all range is equal. Obviously learning the trombone will help me less with behavioral economics than learning macro economics will.

So how do I prioritize what is good range and what is bad? It seems like he'd argue it is that it's impossible to predict but that's a very unsatisfying answer.

in the 3 examples in the quote (college administrators,psychiatrists and HR) there are no incentives to learn from experience since failure or success have no personal consequences.
