Larsen is the author of “America’s Most Dangerous Jobs: More Tales from a Working Man’s Shrink.” He notes that some of the tales are heartbreaking, while others give hope. However, all honor the nation’s workers, who may not appreciate the danger of the jobs they do. He lives part of the year in Santa Fe and is a member of the American College of Psychiatrists.
