The “Psychology of Self Defense”
How to Cultivate a Superior Survival Mindset for Today’s World,
The Psychology of Self Defense written by my friend and associate Chris Sutton is a book that is critically important for you to take the time to read.
I say this because the information contained in this book will give you an understanding about “The Reality of Self Defense” that will empower you. Empower you with the motivation to train and the confidence and superior survival mindset that will keep you safe.
The humble cane is as a self defense tool beyond compare. You can take it anywhere without restriction and it gives you tremendous leverage. Most importantly when the cane is combined with the tactical, reality based training offered American Cane Self Defense and the right mindset through this free e-book, you will “Never Walk in Fear” again.
The Psychology of Self Defense contains information for beginning, or intermediate students of self-defense. The goal and mission behind writing this book is to empower and educate as many individuals as
possible because think about it for a moment; Everything we buy of value we insure. Our cars, our homes we insure. In short, we go to great lengths to protect all the material objects in our lives. So why is our personal safety up for grabs? We need to begin to think about self-defense and our own personal safety like we do our cell phones! It’s hard to imagine life without your cell phone and this is exactly where we need to be as a society in regards to self-defense.
The Psychology of Self Defense is not a book that was written as an after thought over a weekend. To the contrary if you were to go to Amazon you’d have to pay for this book. It is a serious treatment of the entire range of “Reality Self Defense” with one purpose in mind: To empower you and keep you safe.
The table of contents is presented below so you can see that what I say is true and that it is worthy of your full attention. Read it, pass it on and encourage others to read and pass it on.
