We are never in more danger than when we feel safe. The Safety Trap replaces that false sense of securty and complacency with a plan of action to remain safe in any situation.
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 safe. Simply put, feeling safe is the most dangerous thing you can do.
Author Spencer Coursen is one of the world's leading experts on security and has protected some of the biggest celebrities, business executives and professional athletes. Real world lessons from the author's career include:
“The Athlete” — A star athlete stirs a media frenzy both on and off the court. When the boundaries separating work, family, and friendships become blurred lines, it’s hard to keep secrets... secret. Lesson: Trust but verify.
“The Diplomat” — 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.
“The Politician” — When you campaign in poetry but govern in prose, one of the most dangerous things a politician can hear is, “I used to be your biggest fan.” 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'll need during these dangerous times.
