Most personal-protection advice starts after something has already gone wrong. Lessons in Personal Protection starts earlier.
Drawing on years of martial arts training, self-defense instruction, and protective-intelligence work, P.J. Agness explores the practical habits that can help ordinary people recognize trouble sooner, make better decisions under pressure, and avoid becoming easy targets in the first place. You'll learn how to improve situational awareness, trust your instincts without becoming paranoid, think about exits and environments differently, protect your privacy, build useful relationships, prepare for emergencies, and understand when the smartest form of self-defense is simply getting out.
This is not a book about living afraid or seeing threats everywhere. It is about becoming harder to surprise, harder to isolate, and calmer when something goes wrong, so you can spend less time worrying about danger and more time enjoying the life you are trying to protect.
