Better: A Surgeon's Notes on Performance by Atul Gawande

hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

3.5

This book is a collection of essays in which Dr Gawande reflects on the ways we as individuals can do better at our jobs. He explores providers in different settings and the ways they have improved either their own practice or medicine as a whole. I liked the book and found it interesting, but it was nothing earth-shattering. And the advice in the afterword seemed kind of trite. (ideas like get to know your patients and talk to your coworkers about the weather… ok?)  lronically, for a book titled Better, I’ve heard his other books are better.
