Her TED Talk "Why Some of us don't have one True Calling" went viral with over 7.7 million viewers worldwide, translated into some 40 languages.
Emilie Wapnick, writer and entrepreneur, talks about multipotentialites, i.e. people who have many interests and like to take on several projects at once.
In this interview, Wapnick challenges some of the traditional advice for success in life and work, explaining that the path of specialisation is not always, necessarily, the most valid or safe one. The multi-faceted nature of multipotentialites renders them capable of developing different strengths. They can only be truly fulfilled devoting themselves to different passions and areas.
