By Gavin de Becker
This book is intended as an actual guide to protecting yourself in real life. It doesn't deal with physical protection but instead deals with mental preparation and trusting your gut instinct. De Becker convincingly lays out how we are amazingly observant people but second guess ourselves constantly. This second guessing can sometimes get us in serious trouble.
The beauty of this book for stage purposes is that it clearly lays out the signals violent offenders of many different types often give. This book gets deep into the minds of violent people allowing us to more convincingly do our jobs in theater.
It can be very difficult and uncomfortable to pretend and dive into the dark thoughts of these criminals on your own. With De Backers intense and rich knowledge we have a clearer roadway to follow with less personal psychological baggage.
Also, the information in the book truly could save your life.
