The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande
One of the top ten greatest doctors in the world looks at the lowly checklist, and how this simple idea - which is free to reproduce - will revolutionise the way we approach problems, and help save lives. Today we find ourselves in possession of stupendous know-how, which we willingly place in the hands of the most highly skilled people.
It has been years since I read a book so powerful and so thought-provoking.. Gawande is a gorgeous writer and storyteller, and the aims of this book are ambitious -- Malcolm Gladwell
