The Golden Rules of Survival Learn more about this book. Awareness always wins Putting it all together Pretend for a moment that you are a criminal. You're low on cash, so you decide to go to the park and choose someone to rob at gunpoint. When you arrive at the park, you notice five different potential targets.
Confidence is the single most important aspect of self-defense.
I can teach you about every physical aspect of self-defense from carjackings to burglaries, but if you don't know how to think like a survivor, it will be difficult to convince a criminal that he or she is making a bad decision in choosing you. As I previously mentioned in this book, self-defense is about 80 percent mental and only about 20 percent physical. This chapter concentrates on the mental side of self-defense. Attitude is everything, especially when it comes to a subject as important as your safety. I'm going to walk you through the six golden rules of survival.
