Black Box Thinking: Marginal Gains and the Secrets of High Performance by Matthew Syed
I don't rate non-fiction so here is a quick review!
The overall concept of this was really interesting, I especially enjoyed the focus on how mistakes are reported and acted upon to inform future events! The fact that in so many industries mistakes are hidden for fear of getting in trouble is terrifying, and I feel I also learnt from a personal development perspective that making mistakes and learning from them isn't a bad thing, but is in fact incredibly important and the quickest and easiest way to learn!
Overall I would recommend this, but I did feel that the last 100 pages or so got very repetitive and felt a little redundant! The same case studies were used repeatedly and not much extra value was being drawn from them at the end!
