Summary
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.

Wow
Heard this recommended through 'Tools of Titans' by Tim Ferriss.
It was not what I thought it would be. Some of the stories are intense, the narrator does a great job of emoting them. I have always been an 'anti-rules' guy, this book showed me how foolish (and childish) that philosophy was.
Straight after reading, I've used the guidelines mentioned in the book to set up my own basic checklists for my own life.
Accept you're fallible, put safety nets into your life!

The Checklist Manifesto
I've not been one to have a checklist or a to-do- list, so i find it really hard to discipline myself on most things. Yes I'm also of the generation that checklist is a non real productive systems. Just get it done!!!
I have thoroughly enjoyed the checklist concept/system to be one that I will not feel ashamed on using.
Some bits seemed long, but felt that it was prudent to explain the thought processes.
I would recommend this book on the bases that I have got over the stigma about "Checklist"
Hooray!! 😇👍🏽
Now I need help in creating a checklist with it being too long☹️

Praise for Boeing’s checklists
A follow up book retracting his misplaced trust and high praise for Boeing after the murderous 737 Max crashes would be a most appropriate sequel - getting to the core of the economic and corporate forces opposing the integrity of checklists.

Amazing book for anyone really cares about getting things done right
Intelligent author with groundbreaking but simple ideas about how to run things more smoothly and avoid disasters in many fields. The whole book kept me engaged and I’m the type of person that can get bored fast. Highly recommend!

I have started using checklists more and more
Started using checklists at work.
Good examples of how checklists were introduced to the field of medicine - giving examples from civil engineering and aeronautical industry. I have put into use straight away - so happy to recommend.
