There is a saying that goes like this: "the more you sweat in training the less you bleed in combat."  This book drives that point home as the author very clearly illustrates how to condition yourself to be able to respond to critical moments where the decisions you have to make in microseconds can be the difference between life and death.I liked how the author also gave real life examples of how this training has helped him in a myriad of past jobs, form the French Foreign Legion all the way to being a first responder.Unlike other books, this book gives you mental exercises that will help you be able to overcome your mind's natural response which is to freeze up.  This certainly does not mean you are a coward if you freeze, it is just what has helped us as well evolved as a species.I think that everyone should read and apply these principles.  With all of the mass shootings that seem to happen out of nowhere you really never now when these lessons could save your life.A very well written book that I will be recommending to others.  Good job author!
