The New York Times bestselling author of Being Mortal and Complications reveals the surprising power of the ordinary checklist We live in a world of great and increasing complexity, where even the most expert professionals struggle to master the tasks they face. Longer training, ever more advanced technologies—neither seems to prevent grievous errors. But in a hopeful turn, acclaimed surgeon and writer Atul Gawande finds a remedy in the humblest and simplest of techniques: the checklist. First introduced decades ago by the U.S. Air Force, checklists have enabled pilots to fly aircraft of mind-boggling sophistication. Now innovative checklists are being adopted in hospitals around the world, helping doctors and nurses respond to everything from flu epidemics to avalanches. Even in the immensely complex world of surgery, a simple ninety-second variant has cut the rate of fatalities by more than a third. In riveting stories, Gawande takes us from Austria, where an emergency checklist saved a drowning victim who had spent half an hour underwater, to Michigan, where a cleanliness checklist in intensive care units virtually eliminated a type of deadly hospital infection. He explains how checklists actually work to prompt striking and immediate improvements. And he follows the checklist revolution into fields well beyond medicine, from disaster response to investment banking, skyscraper construction, and businesses of all kinds. An intellectual adventure in which lives are lost and saved and one simple idea makes a tremendous difference, The Checklist Manifesto is essential reading for anyone working to get things right.

You've just boarded a plane. You've loaded your phone with your favorite podcasts, but before you can pop in your earbuds, disaster strikes: The guy in the next seat starts telling you all about something crazy that happened to him--in great detail. This is the unwelcome storyteller, trying to convince a reluctant audience to care about his story. We all hate that guy, right? But when you tell a story (any kind of story: a novel, a memoir, a screenplay, a stage play, a comic, or even a cover letter), you become the unwelcome storyteller. So how can you write a story that audiences will embrace? The answer is simple: Remember what it feels like to be that jaded audience. Tell the story that would win you over, even if you didn't want to hear it. The Secrets of Story provides comprehensive, audience-focused strategies for becoming a master storyteller. Armed with the Ultimate Story Checklist, you can improve every aspect of your fiction writing with incisive questions like these: • Concept: Is the one-sentence description of your story uniquely appealing? • Character: Can your audience identify with your hero? • Structure and Plot: Is your story ruled by human nature? • Scene Work: Does each scene advance the plot and reveal character through emotional reactions? • Dialogue: Is your characters' dialogue infused with distinct personality traits and speech patterns based on their lives and backgrounds? • Tone: Are you subtly setting, resetting, and upsetting expectations? • Theme: Are you using multiple ironies throughout the story to create meaning? To succeed in the world of fiction and film, you have to work on every aspect of your craft and satisfy your audience. Do both--and so much more--with The Secrets of Story.

What if you could understand a person by just looking at them? What if you knew what to expect from them in terms of performance, never to experience disappointment again? What if blue eyes, dark skin and thick wavy hair gave you enough information to honor the true nature of such an individual? With the Knowledge of Y.O.U.(r) and The Ultimate Life Tool(r) one can connect authentically with their children, clients, co-workers and family. If there is a human in the equation, The Ultimate Life Tool(r) can offer solutions to real life challenges. If it's infidelity, fatigue, addiction, an identity crisis, raising a special needs child, creating productive work environments, or just a lack of passion for life, The Ultimate Life Tool(r) offers Natural Solutions to situations that have become problematic because the PHYSICAL laws of nature have likely been overlooked. We can easily recognize trees and animals without having to question which is likely to make shade, roar, hop or meow. Yet, we are the only species that cannot SEE itself in it's own Natural Perfection. Instead we form judgments about others based on their dress, their ability to converse, their smell, their car, education, family, story, resume and where they live; all of which tells us nothing about the true nature of an individual. Until we remember how to SEE each other in our states of authenticity we will continue to impose our own will, opinions and beliefs upon one another only to mimic... The Blind leading The Blind. The Knowledge of Y.O.U.(r) and The Ultimate Life Tool(r) will open your eyes to a whole new perspective on life. A new understanding and respect for yourself and human nature will manifest and life will simply make s
