The average person isn’t looking to be in a situation where fists are going to fly,
but many of us have found ourselves there anyway. At that moment, it’s probably
too late to do anything about it. But how do we change circumstances so those
situations don’t happen? How Not to Get Hit is a book on personal safety for
people who don’t want to learn to fight, but do want to learn how to avoid those
situations where a fight is likely to develop.
Told in a lighthearted, irreverent style, How Not to Get Hit takes you on a journey
through the funny side of violence, its roots in our evolutionary past and where
it fits in to modern society. Self-defense isn’t a series of techniques or moves, it’s
an attitude, a strategy and a life skill. This book will give you an understanding
of why people resort to violence, how they use it and gives you the knowledge to
manage those situations to create a better outcome.
The book includes chapters on:
• The Psychology of an Attack
• How to see it coming—spotting violent intent
• Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics
• Age, gender, wealth and location
• How the Professionals Do It
• Wisdom from people who are trained to manage aggression and violence
