Welcome to episode five of _How To Go To Work,_ the podcast that accompanies the book /How To Go To Work/ (Penguin, 2020). Each week authors Lucy Clayton and Steven Haines will be asking guest to take us right back to the beginning of their career. We’re not interested in stellar success stories or show off narratives – this is a show about the start of things. However famous our guests are, we start with their Saturday job. Tracking the progress from early work experience through to guest’s current life, we examine what was learnt on the way, how the journey developed, how people are held back or inspired further. This week’s guest is Dr Rahul Jandial. He’s one of the world’s top brain surgeons and for years he has transformed the lives of his neurosurgery patients by putting them through “brain rehab”, his specially developed boot camp for restoring brain function.His new book, published by Penguin called _[Life Lessons from a Brain Surgeon, the New Science and Stories of the Brain](https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0241338689/)_ demonstrates how healthy people can rewire their brains to work in a higher gear. Join Lucy and Dr Jandial as they talk about his journey from shop floor to surgery and everything in between. * [How To Go To Work: The honest advice no one ever tells you at the start of your career — published by Penguin](https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Go-Work-Honest-Advice/dp/0241399467/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1580036511&sr=8-1) * [Follow Dr Jandial on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/drjandial/) Email or follow the show on Twitter, @[howtogotowork](https://twitter.com/howtogotowork/).
