Synopsis
Approximately 1.9 million women are physically assaulted annually in the United States alone. In Survive the Unthinkable , Tim Larkin empowers women to understand that surviving a potential attack isn't about being physically bigger, faster, or stronger; it's about knowing how to self- protect , not self- defend. Survive the Unthinkable reveals the effective, proven principles behind Target Focus Training, the system Larkin has used to train Navy SEALs, celebrities, and soccer moms. It's a counter-intuitive mind / body approach women can use to protect themselves and their loved ones. Readers learn how to identify the difference between social aggression (which can be avoided) and asocial violence (which is unavoidable), recognize personal behaviors that may jeopardize safety, and target highly specific areas on an attacker's body for a strategic counterattack. Larkin discusses how predators think and teaches women how to spot them, outsmart them, and stop them in their tracks. With principles proven to work regardless of size, strength, or athleticism, Larkin's approach revolutionizes women's perspective on violence and self-protection. Armed with the tools to neutralize any threat, readers will blast through the victim mindset and live freer, safer, more peaceful lives., Approximately 1.9 million women are physically assaulted annually in the United States alone.

    Mistakenly ordered a paperback that I thought was a hardcover, not sellers fault; it was described properly on the listing. Seller still processed a refund the day I went to return the item and let me keep the item anyway. A+++ service. Book arrived quickly in great condition and for a great price. Thank you so much! Amazing seller!

    seller was communicative about my shipment, media mail took a while and tracking wasn't updated frequently, but seller communicated to me very quickly on status. the item came new and wrapped as described, though the packaging in it was packed wasn't sturdy and falling apart when it got to me.

  • Phenomenal Self-Protection Material for Everyone

    In background I have some martial training, and only 2/3rd's way thru, this book deserves to be award winning - I encourage all women to read it. For myself, it is also mental training as well - 'mind-set' and able to change one's quickly - as a Vietnam vet (not combatant), even though there was security, still, one had to have the mind-set to react fast - life/death as this book well describes. And when I state the 'mental' part - I've studied psychology for 45-years, did therapy for at least 25, and the mental part of training, in any sport as well, a must to train - Lastly, Ronda Rousey - another form of aggression, but not to injure, but to win (and people complain about her hurting her opponents, that is not her intention, they just to tap-out soon enough, she gives them amble time ...

  • Better to know when,what & how to survive.

    Gave this as a gift to my 30 somethig Niece. If your going to be "Out & about" around people you better be prepared for the worst. I didn't want her to be on the receiving end of someones violent action. Some people want to visit there problems on others they perceive as weak or an easy target. They have no problem doing so. I feel better knowing she can give it back to them in spades, injuring them ( possibly permanently). Or if need be nutralizing the threat by ending their pathetic existance. You know like pest control.
