In addition to escaping handcuffs, picking locks, and spotting when someone is telling a lie, he can improvise a self-defense weapon, pack a perfect emergency kit, and disappear off the grid if necessary. He has also honed his “positive awareness”—a heightened sense of his surroundings that allows him to spot suspicious and potentially dangerous behavior—on the street, in a taxi, at the airport, when dining out, or in any other situation. In his engaging and empowering book Spy Secrets That Can Save Your Life , Jason shares this know-how with readers, revealing how to: • prevent home invasions, carjackings, muggings, and other violent crimes • run counter-surveillance and avoid becoming a soft target • recognize common scams at home and abroad • become a human lie detector in any setting, including business negotiations • gain peace of mind by being prepared for anything instead of uninformed or afraid With the skill of a trained operative and the relatability of a suburban dad, Jason Hanson brings his top-level training to everyday Americans in this must-have guide to staying safe in an increasingly dangerous world. Review: Awesome yet Practical Guidebook for Self-Defense Tips - About a year or so ago, I came across videos Jason Hanson had made and put together in a package deal regarding many of the same things he has written in his book. Our family enjoys various self-defense training, and I was very impressed with these videos. I shared them with members of my family. They were impressed too. They were short and fun to watch. However, we enjoyed them so much we watched them all within a 3 day period of time, before going back over them individually to really learn and practice the techniques he shared to keep us from harms way. I've been subscribed to his newsletters, and enjoy the tidbits of information he offers with each one. Through these, I found out about his new book, Spy Secrets That Can Save Your Life. Of course, I purchased this and read it within 3 hours. (I'm a fast reader, but this was also a fast reading book.) I'm sure others could read it faster, but to glean the information from it that it was intended for, don't speed read. I'm in the process of reading it again along with my husband. We read and practice and repeat. A lot of the information covered in the book, I already had watched on the videos. So, if you have purchased the video collection, would you still want to purchase the book? Yes! The book contains additional information not found in the videos. For instance, one of my favorite chapters was near the end, "The Art of Survival Driving." Jason offers a course that teaches this, which I would love to enroll my husband in. He's pretty stoked about taking this class some day. In the meantime, we have the basic information taught in this book. I love all the true-life stories he tells regarding each of the topics he covers in the book. One gets a real life perspective that these bad things do happen to people, and by reading and practicing his suggestions (yes practicing each day and Jason shares his training schedule) we can each avoid many of these situations, or know what to do to save ourselves. He also provides many websites he has created regarding these particular topics. The websites share videos and other valuable information. This book should be in everyone's home and not to just sit on a bookshelf. Read it, and read it again. Practice, and practice daily. Be ready to protect you and your family with simple steps such as just getting off the X. (Mentioned throughout the book how important it is to move and not freeze.) I was very impressed by this book and all of the additional information that did not come with the videos I purchased a year earlier. Glad to have this knowledge. This book will be a source of valuable information for a long time. I strongly recommend this book. Review: Simple and Informative - Some common techniques, but many that I had never thought of. The book was easy to understand, examples were descriptive for the most part. Do not regret any time I spent reading this, which I did in two short sittings.

The book was easy to understand, examples were descriptive for the most part. Do not regret any time I spent reading this, which I did in two short sittings. Recommend ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great read at a great price. Found it very useful. *by P***J on May 6, 2016* The author focuses on the importance of situational awareness which is key to survival. You will not become James Bond with this book, but the topics on social engineering and how you can be manipulated by other people is very good and easy to understand. Knowing what floors to stay on in a hotel and why are very good. Topics like how to know if you are being followed and how to confront someone and actually avoiding a confrontation are smart. The only reason I gave it four stars is that it could use some illustrations. I think the lack of illustrations is purposeful so you have to go to his website and purchase videos and other accessories from him (somewhat of an up-sell format). But I still found the information very usefull. Even how to kick out a window, break a duct tape and zip tie if bound. I don't believe you will become an expert. I am an advocate of tactical flashlights and pens and he reinforces the concepts. I just find it cheaper to buy your own high quality "tools" and not his overpriced versions. I would love to take his course one day...that appears useful and I also like how he tries to give realistic, real life examples of situations where you could apply these skills. The price is reasonable and I found the boom able to hold my attention which is not easy! Saw him on Shark Tank and it caught my interest.
