The Safety Trap teaches everyone how to protect themselves, their families, and those around them by being aware of realistic risks and \- most importantly \- being prepared for them. Surprisingly, you are actually in the most danger when you feel the safest. Simply put, feeling safe is the most dangerous thing you can do. Author Spencer Coursen is one of the world\x27s leading experts on security and has protected some of the biggest celebrities, business executives and professional athletes. Real world lessons from the author\x27s career include: \x27The Athlete\x27 \- A star athlete stirs a media frenzy both on and off the court. When the boundaries separating work, family, and friendships become blurred lines, its hard to keep secrets... secret. Lesson: Trust but verify. \x27The Diplomat\x27 \- Diplomats do most of their work overseas, often in non\-permissive environments. When a situation is about to go from bad to worse, it helps to have as much of a head start as possible. Lesson: The need for protective intelligence. \x27The Politician\x27 \- When you campaign in poetry but govern in prose, one of the most dangerous things a politician can hear is, \x27I used to be your biggest fan.\x27 Lesson: Identifying those who pose a threat vs those who express a threat. These lessons and many more provide readers with the survival strategies they\x27ll need during these dangerous times.

Hardback. Condition: Good. Threat management expert Spencer Coursen offers proactive strategies to protect yourself and your loved ones in the event of hostile encounters and emergency situations in The Safety Trap: A Security Expert's Secrets for Staying Safe in a Dangerous World. Despite what the news and social media would have you believe, we have never lived in a safer time than we are now. Unfortunately, we live under a false sense of security enforced by authorities that only alleviates fears without reducing risk. We have placed our personal safety, and our responsibilities of guarding it, into the hands of people trained only to respond to crises, not actively prevent them. Our blind faith in institutions to protect us has only dulled our natural survival instincts. The truth is that when we feel safest is actually when we are in the most danger. This is the paradox of The Safety Trap. When you don't expect danger, you simply fail to see the signs that something bad is about to happen. But the signs are always there, and staying safe is about training yourself to see them. In easy-to-implement methods of maintaining vigilance, assessing risk, and taking preventative measures, you'll discover how to be alert without anxiety and know how to best protect and defend yourself on the job, in school, in public places, at home, and online. With Coursen's simple formula of Awareness + Preparation = Safety as your guide--as well as real world examples of managing threats--you will learn how to develop the skills and confidence to reclaim your own security and avoid The Safety Trap.
