I read ii several years ago after listening to a long interview on radio. IIRC he generalized somewhat too much about the rules he extrapolated which might work for consultant surgeons or pilots but maybe not where broad creative analyses and problem solving and overall flexibility is needed which is most situations, thinking on your toes as in most cases. Nevertheless it was a hit book back then even before I found out about it.

However he is sort of genuine and not a serial trendy book author. Unlike the guy below whose latest hip book, elastic: flexible thinking iatoc, is in sort of opposition to checklist manifesto, he over generalizes even more:
