I found this to be an easy read for someone interested in making a checklist. Through the use of examples of medical cases, airline flight checklists and their adoption, construction of skyscrapers, the author does a wonderful job of telling his own personal journey in learning about and creating a checklist for WHO. I, myself, wanted to create checklists for the veterinary setting which currently does not have the level of scrutiny that these other professions endure.

Decent book, but found myself longing for more substance around/about effective checklists. Had planned to buy for my team to read but changed plans after reading it myself.

Not very practical. Yes checklists are important, but not much info on how to incorporate them.

What I thought was a simple concept did ring true, but understanding the genesis and the positives and pitfalls of checklists was fascinating. I took away useful tools for my own business. It really gives the reader a 360 view of this simple, yet amazing tool.

Easy and fun read.

I was pleasantly surprised with how practical and interesting I found this book. It dragged on towards the end a bit but overall was well done and worth the several hours I spent reading it.

Excellent book.

This is an excellent book, but it is missing one key element. Why doesn't a book about the power of checklists contain a checklist for creating checklists?

A very candid and well written case for why professionals should set aside pride, and develop and use checklists. James Kelly, Esq.

Nice summer read! I strongly recommend this book to people who are organized and love biomedical sciences.
