On balance this book really is a very important read and I thoroughly encourage everyone to get hold of a copy…
I genuinely believe that if this book were to be put on every school curriculum, the world would be a better place. A truly excellent, fast-paced and invaluable read.
Autobiographical experiences of an extraordinary man brave enough not only to build a career in surgery, but to give equal voice to his successes AND failures.
What I like most about this book is that, admittedly with a fair degree of repetition, it makes one point clear and true – if you’ve developed considerable expertise then you can make sound judgements in the blink of an eye, but if you haven’t then your instincts may well misguide you; leading to potentially catastrophic consequences.
These days we tend to rely on various methods for jogging our memories such as post it notes, notebooks, diaries, the internet, smartphones and so on. But back in the day it was just you, your memory and tricks like the Memory Palace.
