Prepare for The Real World: The World Is Not a Safe Place Kindle Edition

by Brian Searcy (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.9 out of 5 stars 12 ratings
The threats we face today are growing unprecedentedly. The events we see in the news, in our communities, schools, churches, and businesses all call for the need for all of us to learn and practice situational awareness. Situational awareness allows you to prevent, remove, and respond to threats and events that could potentially cause you or somebody else to be victims.

Based on today’s reality, we need to provide safety to our families, workplaces, and communities. Situational awareness is the key. Whether you’re the head of the family or a CEO, you need to develop situational awareness not just for yourself but also for your family, those you work with, and others in your community.

Situational awareness gives you the ability to deal with imminent threats. It also allows you to detect and manage signs of potential problems before they materialize.

Situational awareness can be learned and can significantly decrease the likelihood of victimhood from any kind of threat. It comes with preparation, critical decision-making, and development and continuous practice of your own mindset, behaviors, and processes that prepare you when you identify that something is not right. These skills should be applied in our daily lives.

Every person is different, and every situation is unique. The key is to understand when to trust your instincts—your gut feeling—and what to do even before you are faced with any source of stress, danger, or anxiety.

This book will not tell you what to do, but it will provide guidance and education on how you can develop, practice and maintain your situational awareness.

    This is an important book that can prepare the average person for life in a world that has increasingly become more and more dangerous. Brian Searcy brings logic and reason gained from a long career in the service of his country to equip his readers in the area of situational awareness. The sound steps he teaches are made even more user-friendly by this innovative THINKaha system that allows the reader to easily access video of the author speaking to each section's key points. This is a must-read for anyone wanting to make himself or herself more aware and hone the ability to assess a situation and make what could be a life-saving decision.

    As always, Brian delivers advice and teachings to keep us safer in a crazy world. We may not aways be able to stop people from doing bad things, but we can control and manage how we react. Brian shares ways to not only recognize certain behaviors and situations before they become worse, but what to do once we find ourselves, or someone else, in a bad place. This a valuable read for everyone.

    I found this to be very accessible and thorough. It also was helpful to have space take notes on each principle. I work in several countries around the world. These principles are sound and tested. As the world (America) changes, we need to understand how to change as well to be as safe as possible. Great read.

    Prepare for the Real World is not your usual book. It is interactive. The written content is short and punchy. It provides you with 140 prompts and tips to improve your #situationalawareness. The innovation of the book is the QR codes in every chapter that take you to videos where the author, Brian Searcy, provides more information on each topic. There is plenty of space to make your own notes. I love the quote,'Every situation is unique, so how you act or react should depend on the uniqueness of the scenario you're in'. Yes! This book can help you whether you are dealing with office bullying or a life threatening situation.
