BOOK KEYS: An academic doctor brilliantly nails the subject and brings to the general public the question of cross disciplinary boundaries between SCIENCE -ART & CRAFTS in Everyday Life. Practically speaking (using real life examples and time relevant wise conversations) and theoretically thinking (using insightful concepts such as ‘reciprocal illumination’ and ‘interactional expertise’, ‘attentive looking -inspection’, ‘the ecosystem of expertise’) this is a book just right to help you relax, relate, reflect and ..map your personal pathway to the joys of slow learning..in a fast-moving knowledge society obsessed with immediate results, quantification and an all present sense of urgency. This book is a water fountain for questions such as: ‘what experts from different fields can learn from one another’, ‘who are those pivotal people we admire, call them experts and want them as our mentors, role models and friends’, ‘how the concepts of performance, experience and improvisation relate and connect to each other in cases of experts and expertise’ -drawing advice from doctors to jazz musicians, fighter jet pilots, master potteres, computer engineers, lacemakers and tailors.. Ιn a nutshell this book can give you: -the Essence of Expertise -Bonus Exerpts from the Experts

BOOK QUOTE TO REMEMBER: ‘Becoming expert is at the core of being human.’
