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 book, 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.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is looking into so many different area of work. Demonstrating how a checklist fits there and the blessings that the checklist is to stop us from overlooking those little things that we assume we couldn’t possibly miss or forget but occasionally do. Thank you

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.

Fantastic, glad I listened
