" DONT BE IGNORANT.....BUY THIS BOOK ! ",
By A Customer
This review is from: Verbal Judo : Words As a Force Option (Hardcover)
Many in the " Law Enforcement / Security " Field would greatly improve their chances of survival and become better communicators by mastering the material in this easy to read manual for learning how to " Talk & Deal " with your fellow man & woman. This book has probably saved me from Past Mistakes that would surely have resulted in physical confrontations,...to re-hash an old saying " WINNING THE HEARTS & MINDS ". So save yourself a " LAWSUIT"... Dont be ignorant... buy this book !.

This review is from: Verbal Judo : Words As a Force Option (Hardcover)
I first read this book right after law school, when I went to work in the criminal courts as a clerk and bailiff. At that time, in a metropolitan area of over one million, there were no security screeners at the entrances. Gang types were active in the halls. I had to "face up" with the most alpha-dominant types you have ever imagined. Oh, you have to deal with them ever day. Understood. These were people who enjoy, and even get off, on pure evil. This book taught me to actually take their "macho" and add it to my power over them. You probably don't leave home without your kevlar. If you are, or wish you could, absorb this book into the very fabric of your being... because next to kevlar it can save your life. Then give it to your partner. And then to your spouse take a look at - you will gain a whole new receptivity to your daily activities. Be proud, be professional - and become a master in the incredibly effective martial art of verbal judo.
