Steve Casner is a research psychologist at NASA and a specialist in safety, and no one is better qualified to write about why accidents happen and the science of avoiding them, topics which are timelier than ever in an era of 'fast cars, smartphones, new drugs, and thrilling new sports, when we humans are still as fragile as ever'.
Casner convincingly argues that we all need to make a habit of being more careful. A scientist and a natural storyteller, he takes the studies, data, and safety advice we usually tune out and turns it into gripping, page-turning material. This is a how-to-guide for a new way of thinking about survival in a world filled with hazards and distractions. Charles Duhigg, author of Smarter Faster Better and The Power of Habit
