# Psychological Safety Books

*Tom Geraghty · Interpersonal Practice, History & Foundations*

A curated reading list of books that illuminate psychological safety from multiple angles — Edmondson's The Fearless Organisation as the essential text, Schein's Humble Inquiry on asking over telling, Vaughan's Challenger Launch Decision on normalisation of deviance, Conklin's 5 Principles of Human Performance, Dekker's Field Guide to Understanding Human Error, Marquet's Turn the Ship Around, Mitchell's Complexity: A Guided Tour, and others covering equity, restorative practice, voice, and organisational design. Updated regularly. Includes a frank caution on Clarke's Four Stages model ('wrong, but interesting'). A practical gateway into the broader literature for practitioners and workshop participants.
