About this listen
Today we find ourselves in possession of stupendous know-how, which we willingly place in the hands of the most highly skilled people. But avoidable failures are common, and the reason is simple: the volume and complexity of our knowledge has exceeded our ability to consistently deliver it - correctly, safely or efficiently.
In this groundbreaking audiobook, Atul Gawande makes a compelling argument for the checklist, which he believes to be the most promising method available in surmounting failure. Whether you're following a recipe, investing millions of dollars in a company or building a skyscraper, the checklist is an essential tool in virtually every area of our lives, and Gawande explains how breaking down complex, high pressure tasks into small steps can radically improve everything from airline safety to heart surgery survival rates.
Fascinating and enlightening, The Checklist Manifesto shows how the simplest of ideas could transform how we operate in almost any field.

Fantastic, glad I listened
Great stories, to frame the theme. Sometimes author’s stories are just filler, but Atul’s stories have a clear purpose, create a link to the chapter/book and are compelling to non-medical people like me.
Makes a clear case. I’m off to think about how I can use the many layers of observation, wisdom and proof in this audiobook.

Couldn't put it down
Amazing book, that can be used by almost anyone. You may think that a book about checklists would be boring but this is one of the most interesting books I've ever read.

Exciting read although a bit long-winded at times
The book had an amazing start which made me hooked instantly. Towards the middle the story became a bit wordy and irrelevant so it was hard to continue, but towards the end the story became interesting again and ended well I think.

Gawande continues to amaze
My second book by the author and even more amazing than the first one (Complications). Very enjoyable style of writing, thought provoking, with quite a few takeaways.

Inspiring, Educational. Heartwarming.
David Allen’s Getting Things Done book referred to The Checklist Manifesto. I was expecting book about processes and checklist. And yes, the book delivered on that but in a way I didn’t expect. The book was so so so enjoyable. I learned many things about different industries. Absolutely worth reading for more than one reason.

I really enjoyed this book!
An extremely valuable book, one i will read over and over again. Perfect for implementing into business of any kind. I really liked how the author discussed multiple situations and businesses where checklists are so valuable. I’ve already implemented his checklist strategy into my business because of this book, I would highly recommend!
It’s amazing the detail of the surgery the author describes but at moments it made me shiver so if you have a light stomach, be prepared.
