Couldn’t finish it, book relied on way too many stories and instead of focusing on points. Personally not a fan of repetitive self help books but I can see why most people like it

Simple ideas are typically the most effective!
This summary was a great condensed version of the value of checklists. The examples used to illustrate the point are simple and compelling. The next step is to figure out how to build the most effective list.

Maybe it's my expectations.
I expected this super quick summary to give a feel for the book, with a couple of samples of checklists, so as to spare me the purchase of the main book (I know I know, bad me, lazy me, undeserving reader that I am!).
It has been a super quick read, it gave the main ideas very succinctly, but somehow I feel like I still need to read the book and I don't really feel more knowledgeable. It seemed like a longer blurb, not really an educational summary.
You know when you have a 2hr lesson that you think might be boring and you get a hold of someone's notes? You think "Great! I can skip class and still be the wiser!". But after the 10 minutes read, you realize that after all the professor probably has very interesting things to say and your brain really needs the 2hr listening effort to properly figure it out. I could have just spared the 10-minute summary, then!

Forgot to check the checklist....
This was an interesting book. The stories of the medical situations that caused the author to develop and use checklists are incredible. If I ever have surgery i will be asking if they use checklists. The title, "The Checklist Manifesto", fits the theme of the book as to how important checklists can be.
The weak part of the book is the follow through of the subtitle, "How to get things right". One would expect more of how to use checklists, how to develop checklists, and how to implement them. None of this really appears. The stories do give a hint as to what a checklist should be- short, easy to use, and versatile, but that is the extent of advice.
The book is worth the read just from the the stories, but falls short of a "how to" book. So with the right expectation, I would recommend it.

Very important to have a checklist
Checklist at first I thought it was not necessary but I have learnt that it really is important. I'm learning to make my own checklist. Thanks to the Author.
