O'Connor has written a popular science book on the topic he has spent two decades researching. The book offers much concrete advice, such as how to discuss suicidal behavior, or how to make a safety plan for someone who is in a suicidal crisis. It offers a comprehensive overview of where we stand in the field of suicide prevention. It references evidence-based interventions, noting that often their immediate-term effects are small and their long-term effects are unknown.
