'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.
