This is the best Organizational Change book I've ever come across - I plan to share it with several colleagues. I am not in the medical profession but I found his lessons to be ones that made you think. I look at everything through a different lense now.

I enjoyed this audiobook about the medical profession and the advice on how to become better. It can be applied to many fields of work. I thought Dr. Gawande has an interesting viewpoint and insight into the struggles of MDs. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys the pursuit on knowledge.

Great to hear and see honesty in the current medical system. I totally recommend this book.

Great stories to follow and an interesting expose on some issues related specifically to the medical community. The book is well written and many of the stories will pull you in and connect personally. But this book seems like its trying to be part-biography for the author and part-explaining other complex medical situations to the listener. How this will make you "better" doesn't really come through in my opinion.

For a true self-development or empowerment book, check out the author's "Checklist Manifesto" book. He nailed it there, but missed the mark here.

Although it covers a very wide range of interesting situations, this book is not about performance improvement. It is more of a “being a doctor is hard, and I can prove it”. If detailed stories of the hardships doctors experience interests you, this is a must read. Otherwise, look elsewhere.

Insightful, inspiring. Challenging to improve outcomes, quality of care through intelligent common sense thinking& stories.

I enjoyed it because I am training to be a medical professional and could connect with many topics discussed.

Had some awesome variations in the short narratives told. It really imparted the sense of loss, the need for perfection, and the drive to be better that the author experiences.

The presentation of the book was fantastic. John Bedford Lloyd is captivating

The conclusion is as motivating as it is inspiring. Gawande moves you to action

Good stories to discuss a changing topic-- improvement in health care. unique perspectives from around the globe.
