What struck me at first is the difference between a scientist’s and a journalist’s style of writing (once more, actually, but I haven’t written this down before). One habit of mine is that I highlight and annotate professional literature which I feel enhances my understanding of the matter, and makes it easier to do these reviews and summaries for your (and my) benefit. There is an appendix that is a rather simple guide for the reader how the idea’s in the book might be put into practice. In case you are wondering, yes, the book indeed gives some advice how you might go about.
And in part it has a hint of that - if only because it is very hard not to start thinking in the lines of “what habits do I have myself and what habits of mine ought to change perhaps…”. The book is subtitled “Why we do what we do and how to change” and initially I was a bit sceptical because I feared it might be one of those typical self-help books. When I discussed a variety of professional literature in general and (safety) culture in particular with a colleague/friend a while ago she mentioned/recommended this book to me, so when I came across it quite by accident at the Ark bookstore at Gardermoen (yup, here we are once more) I gave it a chance.
