The Checklist Manifesto

Author: Atul Gawande

In “The Checklist Manifesto,” Atul Gawande explores the deceptively simple yet powerful tool of checklists. Drawing from his experiences as a surgeon, he weaves together compelling stories from aviation, construction, and medicine. Gawande’s engaging prose reveals how this humble organizational aid can prevent catastrophic errors and save lives. As I read, I found myself nodding along, recognizing the universal struggle against human fallibility. It’s a thought-provoking journey that left me reconsidering my own daily routines and the potential for improvement in the most unexpected places.

Discipline is hard—harder than trustworthiness and skill and perhaps even selflessness.
