O'Kelly, the former CEO and chairman of accounting juggernaut KPMG who was diagnosed with brain cancer at 53, writes about his "forthcoming death" as one would expect an accountant to: methodically. He charts his downward spiral, from symptoms to diagnosis to the process of dying in this poignant and posthumously published book. (O'Kelly died in September 2005.) O'Kelly's narrative recounts the steps he took to simplify his life-how he learned, for instance, "to be in the present moment, how to live there at least for snippets of time"-and the final experiences he shared with close friends and family. But his story falters on several occasions. O'Kelly provides few substantial details regarding his long career with KPMG; what information he does offer, and his wishes for the firm's continued success, read like portions of a company newsletter. He also refers constantly to his "wife of 27 years, Corinne, the girl of my dreams," but he fails to give readers a sense of her spirit and personality. (She wrote the final chapter, which takes place largely in the hospital as O'Kelly refuses food and water, eventually dying of an embolism.) Nor do readers learn much of O'Kelly's 14-year-old daughter, other than she's bright and he loves her. Though less than perfect, O'Kelly's examination of the life he lived and the opportunities he missed while climbing the corporate ladder will resonate with readers in "foot to the pedal" careers.

decade, he managed to have lunch with his wife on weekdays just twice. His travel schedule was set 18 months out. Once, he was so obsessed with impressing a potential client that he tracked down the man's travel schedule, booked the seat next to him on a flight, schmoozed the guy all the way to Australia, landed the account, and flew immediately back to Manhattan. His Type-A ways vanished when, at age 53, a top neurosurgeon in New York told him he had late- stage brain cancer. "His eyes told me I would die soon. It was late spring. I had seen my last autumn in New York." [p.7]

There are no TV-movie-style miracle treatments or extensions of his life expectancy; he's told he has maybe 3 months, and he doesn't spend any energy hoping for a cure. True to his CEO style, he creates goals for himself, lists of friends to visit for the last time; he meditates; he tries to create as many "Perfect Moments" that he can, during dinner or phone conversations with friends, and realized how few rare those moments of connection and joy were in his "previous life."[p116] "Chasing Daylight" is as much a self-criticism of his job-before- family ways as it is a meditation on time and a transition to a tranquil, spiritual state utterly foreign to him as a CEO. O'Kelly's absolutely more fulfilled by the soul work that he finishes in 100 days, compared to his 30 years of corporate promotions and accolades, and he utterly convinces readers to ponder their own situation, whether "in the gloaming" of life as he was or not.--Erica Jorgensen

  《清单革命》读书笔记

  题材很好，但是感觉太冗长了，完全可以只写成50页的小册子的。

  P043 抓住“关键”要素与“必不可少”的基本要素

  清单不是操作手册，清单指出了最关键的因素，保证了整个事情的顺利进行。

  P047防止插入中心静脉置管引发感染的步骤卸载一张纸上，这些步骤是：1.用消毒皂洗手消毒；2.用氯已定消毒液对病人的皮肤进行消毒；3.给病人的整个身体盖上无菌手术单；4.戴上医用帽、医用口罩、无菌手套并穿上手术服；5.待导管插入后贴上消毒纱布。

  P060极端复杂问题，就是庞大且不确定性大的问题。

  清单无法提供这些问题的直接解决办法，但是清单可以指出需要检测的方面，并提供沟通的机会。

  P076面对未知，建筑专家们相信沟通的力量，而不相信某个人的智慧，既使他是经验丰富的工程师。

  P078在过去几十年里，建筑领域的最大的进展就是对进程跟踪和沟通过程不断完善。

  P079他们用一套清单来保证不遗漏任何简单的问题，不跳过任何简单的步骤，用另一套清单来保证所有专家都对困难和意料之外的问题进行充分讨论，并共同商讨出解决方案。

  P091面对特大自然灾害时，沃尔玛高层是这么说的：“在座的各位将要做出超出自己级别的决定，请务必根据所掌握的信息及时做出最佳的选择。请记住，最重要的就是做正确的事情。”

  P092沃尔玛的高层吧工作重点放在设定目标、监控进度以及保持和一线员工及政府机构的联络上。也就是说，在应对这一极端复杂的危机时，他们没有发布具体的指令。

  P105清单要素标准，绝对不是“无所不包”，而是

  1.简单

  2.可测

  3.高效

  P119没有一张清单能够涵盖所有的意外情况。最有效的解决办法是让医护人员停下来，进行充分的交流，让他们像团队一样，共同对每个病人面临的独特潜在威胁做出判断。

  P142干货来了

  编制清单必须注意的6大要点

  第一，设定清晰的检查点，使用者在这些节点根据清单列出的项目执行检查程序。

  第二，编制者需要在操作—确认和边读边做这两种清单中做一个选择。MO:我倾向于操作—确认，因为清单需要下放决定权，而专注于做事的效果。当然，

  第三，清单千万不能太长。最好保证在检查点停留的时间保持在60秒以内。

  第四，清单的用语要做到精炼、准确，语言为使用者所熟悉的专业术语。

  第五，清单的版式也很重要。要能便于查找各个层级上的信息。

  第六，清单必须在现实中接受检查，因为现实往往比我们想象的更为复杂。
