How Smart People Can Stop Doing Stupid Things

How many times in your life have you thought, "How could I have done something so stupid?"

Even though we intend to be careful, we all do stupid things that leave us embarrassed (at best), hurt, or even worse. In How Smart People Can Stop Doing Stupid Things, our founder and President, Ron Johnston, shares some of the key stories and strategies behind Method Oriented Safety Thinking®, a behavioral system he originally developed to keep people safe on the job. This book presents some of the most powerful stories collected from Ron's speaking engagements, along with vital lessons from his long career in risk management and safety. It was written with one purpose in mind: to help readers apply the M.O.S.T. (Method Oriented Safety Thinking®) principles in every area of life.
