Summary: Really Good Info To Have And Share With The Family...
Review: Chris Harris does a great job in giving you hints and ideas on being safer in todays crazy world. He gives great statistics on the different crimes to give you some perspective on the real problems.

The book has some useful imformation for everyone in the family. As one reads it, some if it might sound obvious and stupid, but I'm sure we forget it every once in a while. The book tells you how to protect yourself almost everywhere you can think of and many ideas on how to just stay out of trouble.

As the other readers have said, the book does offer enough common sence ideas and techniques that: IT CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE!!
Chris shows you various techniques that are easy to learn and that everyone should know. His info that states that at some point you might have to be prepared to get hurt in order to save your life hits right to the point. Other books are usually not that blunt and thus leave out the most important fact. If you are going to be killed it is better to do something and get hurt instead if it lets you get away. This is a book that everyone should read. If required just hand the pertinent sections to different members of the family...

Summary: You can never be too careful!
Review: It really is a jungle out there. This is an informative and well-written work that should be on every household and library bookshelf. I'm amazed it's out of print and suggest that anyone even slightly interested should track down a copy if they can find one. Never assume that you won't be the target of a criminal (or the criminally insane), and don't believe there's nothing you can do to help yourself! This book is also a great choice for parents sending their son or daughter off to college, anyone travelling abroad... pretty much everyone that wants to arm themselves with information on personal safety at home, on the street, in the workplace, and on the internet. An excellent investment.

Summary: EVERYONE MUST HAVE THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This a book everyone should own. Chris Harris is a wonderful talker who will guide you to being more safer in today's world in a fun way. He is a certified self-defense expert who knows what he is talking about because he has done ALL the research to prove it. Learn all the scary statistics there are about violent crime. THE CRIME STATS WILL SHOCK & STUN YOU AND THEY ARE ALL TRUE! For example: 1.The U.S. has the largest homicide rate in the world, 64 murders happen each day in this country. 2.To top it off, 50% of all homicides are random acts of violence (in which the criminal and the victim don't know each other at all).

It contains a plethora of information on the subject of self-defense. This book teaches you how to protect yourself on the street, on the subway and bus, on the internet, in the workplace, on the telephone, on a date, etc. It actually tells you who the people committing crimes are (you will be surprised,trust me) and why they do it and what to do in order to survive when you encounter them. The book is that straightforward!!!!!

This comprehensive book contains info on every aspect of self-defense you can possibly think of. Did you know that if you live in the U.S., you live in the most dangerous country in the world. (Believe it or not,the U.S. has the highest crime rates in the world.) This book is something everyone has to own. IT CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE!!! (The statemnt I just made is very serious and true.) Best of all, you will learn Chris Harris' uniqe and devastating fighting system which is extremely easy for anyone to learn (in seconds) and use in a violent confrontation with a criminal. (His system cuts out all the unneeded garbage and only teaches what works 100% of the time.) Everyone should know this system. Chris Harris takes a practical and objective look at all the martial arts out there and he talks about all the possible weapons you can use to defend yourself with very thoroughly.

You will learn the "FOUR STEPS TO SURVIVAL" AND THE "GOLDEN RULES OF SURVIVAL" which will keep anyone virtually safe from the criminal element, where the most dangerous places and cities are, and the tricks used by pickpockets and con artists, how to deal with stalkers, carjackers, & muggers, and a whole lot more. This is the best self-defense book I have ever read in my entire life and I have read many of them. This is the only book you will ever need. If you are interested in protecting yorself against the criminal element and staying safe in today's society then YOU NEED TO GET THIS BOOK PRONTO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, this review may seem kind of long, but that is because the book is that great and I think everyone has to have it! I ONLY typed this review in such an extended manner so someone might be interested in purchasing it and save their own life and not become another statistic, I can't stress this enough. Remember, if you don't like the book then you can return it.
