This book was fine. It had moments that were really interesting, but as a complete work, it was just ok. 

Edmondson is one of the pioneers of the psychological safety movements particularly how it affects work environments. This book leans heavily on anecdotes showing the differences between the businesses that practice psychological safety and those that don't. The tools needed to create a psychological safe working environment aren't really laid out until later in the book. 

For those unfamiliar, this book will provide an introduction to the concept and its importance. I do think most leaders don't understand how they can create spaces where their teams can feel safe even if the business as a whole doesn't and could benefit from reading this. 

If you have previously read articles and discussed it, then it might be good to skip it. It's nice, but also felt like cotton candy. Like, it didn't add much to what I already knew. 

As a side note, it's rude that this book wasn't available in paperback and the hardcover is $32. Like come on! Thank goddess for the library.
