This book could save your life: Protect yourself from violence and learn survival skills for dangerous situations with this essential guide from a former military intelligence officer.
In a civilized society, violence is rarely the answer. But when it is - it's the only answer.
The sound of breaking glass downstairs in the middle of the night.
The words "move and you die".
The hands on your child, or the knife to your throat.
In this essential new book, self-protection expert and former military intelligence officer Tim Larkin changes the way we think about violence in order to save our lives. By deconstructing our assumptions about violence - its morality, its function in modern society, how it actually works - Larkin unlocks the shackles of our own taboos and arms us with what we need to know to prevent, prepare for, and survive the unthinkable event of life-or-death violence. Through a series of harrowing true-life stories, Larkin demonstrates that violence is a tool equally effective in the hands of the "bad guy" or the "good guy"; that the person who acts first, fastest, and with the full force of their body is the one who survives; and that each and every one of us is capable of being that person when our lives are at stake.
An indispensable resource, When Violence Is the Answer will remain with you long after you've finished listening, as the bedrock of your self-protection skills and knowledge.

What did you love best about When Violence Is the Answer?
This was a clear, concise, brilliantly-crafted guide for what to do if the unthinkable happens - you are faced with asocial violence. While the topic may make someone uncomfortable, the understanding this book provides is vital.What did you like best about this story?
Having the author present the material was like being personally instructed. It is clear that he knows this information down to its core. That made this information very real and connected with me in a way that was beyond merely having information read to me.Have you listened to any of Tim Larkin’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
NoWas there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Yes. The information provided about criminals' cold, single minded use of violence gave me an understanding I never knew growing up in suburbia. The information about how you can survive even if the attacker is bigger, stronger, and faster helped replace my fear with information I can use. The stories of how smaller, weaker people used their brains to prevail gave me a new confidence.Any additional comments?
What is deceptive, is that many people may think this is just a manual for ass-kicking. It is not. In fact, some of the best information may be about when and how to step away from violence. I am getting copies of this for all of my family members. The hope is that they never need this information. But, if they do, I believe that they can survive to tell me about it.A sane, straightforward guide
