Three 50-word stories about manifestos I’ve encountered in recent books.

The checklist manifesto The slow media manifesto The feminist manifesto
The Checklist Manifesto: How to Get Things Right is the name of a book by Atul Gawande, an American surgeon, writer, professor, and public health researcher. I read recently. The author presents 8 lessons about the unexpected, extraordinary efficacy of using checklists for simple, complicated, and complex processes and procedures. The Slow Media Manifesto was mentioned in my recent reading of Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport. The authors of the original 2010 “Slow Media Manifesto” are German creators Benedikt Köhler, Sabria David, and Jörg Blumtritt, who developed it as a response to fast digital consumption, advocating for mindful, meaningful media. The Feminist Manifesto, written in 1914 by Mina Loy is a call to action for women to critique the 20th century feminist movement, while designing an agenda to secure women’s identity within the changing spheres of society by casting out traditional roles and demolishing the distinction between the two sexes.
