SHIELDHOUSE: SECURE TO THRIVE
Primal Readiness for a Modern World
(Updated and Expanded Edition)

You weren’t made to live in fear. You were designed to survive.

In this second edition of Shieldhouse, John Tagum—former officer, self-defense instructor, and founder of the Shieldhouse movement—offers a sharpened and expanded doctrine for modern-day protectors.

This is not a tactical manual. This is a return to biological truth.
When you feel secure, you thrive. When you reconnect to your instincts, you walk with peace. And when you prepare—not from fear, but from health—you become harder to harm.

Inside, you’ll learn:

• Why situational awareness is calm, not paranoia
• How predators choose targets—and how to make sure it’s never you
• What it means to fight before the fight and break the Triangle of Attack
• How to carry tools that extend your instinct—not just your ego
• Why self-defense is a form of holistic health

This second edition includes new chapters, refined language, and a deeper call to the primal wisdom inside every human being:
The instinct to protect. The right to feel safe. The peace that comes when you finally live Secure to Thrive.
