In the final section of his book, "Better", Dr. Atul Gawande offers five suggestions for how we might make a worthy difference, or in other words how we might become "positive deviant." These are:
(1) Ask an unscripted question. Seek to learn something about others by asking questions.
(2) Don't complain. We all have plenty to carp about, but resist the temptation to complain.
(3) Count something. One should be a scientist in one's world. Whatever that world is, one should count something.
(4) Write something. It makes no diffrence whether you write five paragraphs for a blog, a paper for a professional journal, or a poem for a reading group. Just write.
(5) Change. Make yourself an early adopter. Look for the opportunity to change.
