Story
In today's modern world, we are largely isolated from the kind of savagery our ancestors faced on a daily basis. Although violence was as natural to our evolutionary development as sex and food, it has become foreign to most of us. At once demonized and glamorized, but almost always deeply misunderstood.

Some good ideas
Reviewed: 01-25-24
Several important concepts to martial arts, but perhaps an overemphasis on family dynamics/absent fathers. Overall a decent book on why live pressure and testability in martial arts is important.

You walk into a restaurant and get an immediate sense that you should leave. You are about to step onto an elevator with a stranger, and something stops you. You interview a potential new employee who has the résumé to do the job, but something tells you not to offer the position. These scenarios all represent "left of bang", the moments before something bad happens.

Useful skills for human observation.
Reviewed: 02-21-18
This is really a book about human behavior. It's useful to just about everyone that's interested in maintaining an awareness of their surroundings and knowing something just isn't right. It definitely takes practice, but this lays a solid groundwork.

It's not terrible. I like seeing more amateur radio audiobooks, but I didn't find it much more useful than someone reading the questions. I want to understand, and this book didn't provide context for why much of the content was correct.

Are you tired of feeling f*cked up? If you are, Gary John Bishop has the answer. In this straightforward handbook, he gives you the tools and advice you need to demolish the slag weighing you down and become the truly unf--ked version of yourself. "Wake up to the miracle you are," he directs. "Here's what you've forgotten: You're a f--king miracle of being." It isn't other people that are standing in your way; it isn't even your circumstances that are blocking your ability to thrive. It's yourself and the negative self-talk you keep telling yourself.

The author isn't really proposing anything new here, but the way they explain it really helped it sink in for me. sometimes hearing it said straight with no BS, by someone who seems to care is important.
