“Thank you for the webinar today. Having read the book, I found it to be an incredibly generous review of the key principles.
I would also like to expand that as a ‘thank you’ for this body of work. It has application outside of safety, and it is not a stretch for me to say that I consider any improvement of my understanding (cough cough application, I mean application) of key behavioral science principles tends to improve my life beyond that which I apply to my work. I doubt it is your intention, but the book caused me to reflect upon my own behaviors as a father, as I must admit I fall into the trap of ‘fishing’ for misbehaviors. My two boys deserve a better workplace culture than the one their leader has been providing.
Let me also make this quick note of appreciation awkward by confessing that my wife caught me smiling while reading this book, and when she asked ‘Why?’ I explained, ‘Shit, this is one of the first books I’ve read in which I’m hearing the author’s voice in my head instead of my own.’
I read the final chapter to her, as we both have experiences in mental health organizations and found the personal story impactful and compelling.
Thank you again. I recommend this book to colleagues any time I have an opportunity to do so.
