I do this too often lol, but I’m going to leave Range by David Epstein here as a decent read on the subject.
He partly frames it as a direct criticism of Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers, but Gladwell goes pretty overboard on what the research says. (For the actual science, Peak is your alternative. K Anders Ericsson was involved with the actual research and doesn’t take liberties and wildly over-generalize what it says.)
Anyways, the highly specialized and the broad knowledge base viewpoints aren’t incompatible. Both have value.
