Publisher's summary

"Implementing even a fraction of this book's suggestions will substantially increase your overall safety." (Gila Hayes, Armed Citizens' Legal Defense Network)

We could whine about how we live in dangerous times nowadays, but let's face it, all throughout history ordinary people have been at risk of violence in one way or another. Abdicating personal responsibility by outsourcing your safety to others might be the easy way out, but it does little to safeguard your welfare. In this book you'll discover what dangers you face and learn proven strategies to thwart them.

Self-defense is far more than fighting skills; it's a lifestyle choice, a more enlightened way of looking at and moving through the world. Topics include:

• Making sense of senseless violence
• Riots and crowd safety
• Terrorism
• Domestic violence
• Gangs
• Home invasions
• Conquering impossible odds
• Creating witnesses
• Guns
• Overcoming talisman thinking
• Interacting with law enforcement
• And much, much more....

Making sense of "senseless" violence keeps you smarter, safer, and better prepared... Violent encounters are rarely what you'd think. Oftentimes they last mere seconds yet have consequences that can linger for a lifetime. The best confrontations are those you can avoid, but preparation and training can get you through those times when you must fight for your life and failure is not an option. In this indispensable book Kane and Wilder teach you how.

"This is an insider's bible to violence, what it is, how to spot it and how to avoid it." (Becky Blanton, TED Global speaker, journalist)

Understanding violence at a while new level

Clearly our culture does not understand violence. We see a glorified in movies and acted out in t v shows and most of the time it doesn't seem that harmful. However, our view is incomplete at best and flat out wrong at worst.

The authors do a fantastic job of elaborating on a difficult subject. Similar to the thought that we are better drivers than we really are, most men also think they can hold their own in a fight. I think most would be surprised at how difficult it is to navigate 30 seconds of intense mental and physical stress.

Read this book and get a glimpse into what it takes to be prepared for the challenges most of us know nothing about. I dare you.

Not for snowflakes!

Ignore any bad reviews!

This book is for people that wants info on what kind of world we live in and how to navigate it to protect yourself and your family. It changed the way I think in such a profound manner that I will recommend this to anyone who loves their families.

Loved this book. Its just not for snowflakes.

More like an Audible Blog with hyperlinks

This reads like a blog filled with hyperlinks that don't work. Rather than having a smooth flow of information it's constantly interrupted by, "we'll cover that in chapter X" sometimes it's so much one is left wondering why the chapter they are on even exists.

Having grabbed several titles on this subject at once, this one was a definite miss for me.
