About the book
A renowned surgeon and writer investigates why intelligent people make basic mistakes and how simple checklists can prevent failures in complex contexts. Through stories from medicine, aviation, construction and finance, Gawande demonstrates that the humility of following a disciplined protocol is more powerful than relying solely on individual expertise.
