How do I become a T-shaped person with depth and breadth skills?

Patanjali teaches that mastery isn't about collecting surface-level knowledge across everything—it's about choosing one discipline where you develop real depth, then building bridges to other domains. Think of the vertical line of your T as your core practice. For me, that's understanding mind and transformation through yoga philosophy. The horizontal line? That's where curiosity lives. You read widely, you learn enough about economics or design or communication to translate insights across fields. The key Patanjali emphasizes is *practice*—consistent, deliberate work on your vertical. Without that anchor, you're just skimming. Start by identifying what you'd practice even without external reward. That's your vertical. Then, deliberately expose yourself to one or two adjacent fields each year. Read books outside your domain. Take a course. Have coffee with someone from a different world. The T-shape emerges not from ambition but from genuine interest meeting disciplined depth. You're not trying to be good at everything. You're trying to be excellent at something real, while remaining genuinely curious about how the world actually works.
