I read this after the Checklist Manifesto, which I think is a better book, but again, I'm really impressed with the clarity of his thinking and writing. The afterword is something I need to keep a copy of. Five pieces of advice designed to help each of us become positive deviants: 1. Ask unscripted questions in order to keep the conversation going. 2. Don't complain. It's boring, it doesn't solve anything, and it will get you down. 3. Count something. If you count something you find interesting, you will learn something interesting. 4. Write something. Ass some small observation about your world. 5. Change. Become an early adopter. "So find something new to try, something to change. Count how often you succeed and how often you fail. Write about it. Ask people what they think. See if you can keep the conversation going." Once again, this surgeon is writing something from which any one can learn. I can't wait to read Complications and see if it too teaches me as much and holds my interest so strongly.
