Live Ready - by Sam Rosenberg (Paperback)

About the Book

Anyone can learn the techniques to recognize danger, avoid trouble, and ward off the people who would commit violence against them. You simply have to control your fear and be willing to protect yourself. This book shows you how.

Book Synopsis

Live Ready is a book about dangerous people - about predators who live in our midst and who violate our social contract with impunity.

It's also a book about navigating a world filled with such people. It shows you how to recognize them, how to understand their methods and motivations, how to keep them at a safe remove from yourself and your loved ones (and when that's not possible, how to defeat them).

As Louis Pasteur once remarked, "Chance favors the prepared mind." Live Ready offers a way to prepare our minds and bodies to live in a world full of risk and dangerous people - and when necessary, to become dangerous ourselves.

"Reading his book and paying attention to both the written word and its context will impart confirmation of areas that you may need to improve. Sam writes, 'The reality is that you control the most important situational factors. You have to understand those factors and consciously never relinquish control of them. By understanding and accepting your own power, deterrence is not only possible; it's probable.' From Sam's mouth to God's ear. I've known Sam for a very long time. He walks the walk. Live Ready is highly recommended."

"How do you minimize the likelihood of becoming an unprepared victim of violence? Read this book! Live Ready is an excellent guide to assessing, reacting, and responding to perceived threats. As the author states, 'In the swimming pool of life, there are no lifeguards.' Each person is inherently responsible for their own safety as well as their family.
