A security expert reveals why few of us are as careful as we think we are and what we can do about it.

As doctors and medical researchers work hurry to prolong our lives, more people are looking for ways to cut them shortly each year. In fact, after a hundred years of steady decline, the rate of human injury (or worse) in everyday casualties increases. Blame car crashes, pedestrian fatal accidents, home improvement projects gone wrong, medical mistakes, home fires - not to mention all the crazy things the kids are these days. And the problem seems to spin out of control.

Steve Casner has devoted his career to study security psychology and he knows there is no security alert that we will not ignore or a stupid device that we can not do about an implementation of disaster. Casner describes the psychological traps that prevent us from being more careful. They're the same if you're a pilot, a Hollywood stuntwoman, a parent or the owner of a stuffed dishwasher that you're trying to fix with a screwdriver. Then he shows us real-life examples of how and when damage occurs, so we know exactly what we should really worry about.

Careful Army Reader with the latest science of how our sometimes foolish senses work, with countless takeaways to incorporate at home, at work and everywhere in between. This book helps us keep our fingers in the kitchen, our children swing at the pool and our teens are safe behind the wheel and show in many other ways that we can maximize our chances of getting through the day in one piece.
