''The pandemic has made the necessity of relying on
experts evident to all . . . this is a rich exploration of lifelong
learning'' - Guardian
What could a lacemaker have in common with vascular
surgeons? A Savile Row tailor with molecular scientists? A fighter pilot
with jazz musicians? At first glance, very little. But Roger Kneebone
is the expert on experts, having spent a lifetime finding the
connections.
In Expert, he combines his own experiences as a
doctor with insights from extraordinary people and cutting-edge research
to map out the path we're all following - from 'doing time' as an
Apprentice, to developing your 'voice' and taking on responsibility as a
Journeyman, to finally becoming a Master and passing on your skills. As
Kneebone shows, although each outcome is different, the journey is
always the same.
Whether you're developing a new career, studying a
language, learning a musical instrument or simply becoming the person
you want to be, this ground-breaking book reveals the path to mastery.
