Todd Rose’s personal story could be a book in itself. Going from a high school drop out to getting his Ph.D and teaching at Harvard is quite the turnaround story.
In “The End of Average”, Rose debunks the universal application of averages. The book is divided into three parts. Part I: The Age of Average explores how averages came to be and how they have been applied in the past and today. Part II : The Principles of Individuality demonstrates a superior framework for understanding people. Part III: The Age of Individuals shows a way forward to a better world.
This is one of those books that will change the way you look at the world.
Title: The End of Average
