IMO, its best to be a Generalizing Specialist (T-shaped individual[0]). How to become that is another matter altogether.

I would also suggest reading Mastery by Robert Greene. Though the book is unnecessarily long, the points he raises are pretty good. Reading the anecdotes is also quite interesting.

Good book. I'd also add Pragmatic Thinking and Learning, by Andy Hunt. Different, but a very useful approach to "how to learn".
