Expert

''Roger Kneebone is a legend'' Mark Miodownik, author of Stuff Matters ''Fascinating and inspiring'' Financial Times ''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.
