Warwickian performance requires learning and changing faster than everyone else. Gawande's tips for being a positive deviant: 1) ask an unscripted question, (2) don't complain, (3) count something, (4) write something, (5) change. Offered to doctors but applicable to any discipline. This book elevates not only the writer's experience, but the field of medicine and the lot of practitioners as a whole.

How does Gawande make each paragraph so gripping? Maybe it's the subject matter. Will a book on astrophysicists' mission to constrain dark energy get me as tense? Probably not. Any other human venture, including pursuit of curiosity, would feel frivolous compared to saving lives.
