David Epstein is a New York Times Best Selling Author and Investigative Journalist. Specialising early and hard is a frequent piece of advice I hear given to people asking for advice on how to become great at things.

Today David provides us with an alternative point of view and explains how generalists can triumph in a specialised world.
