Story
You cannot bounce back from hardship. You can only move through it. There is a path through pain to wisdom, through suffering to strength, and through fear to courage if we have the virtue of resilience. In 2012, Eric Greitens unexpectedly heard from a former SEAL comrade, a brother-in-arms he hadn’t seen in a decade. Zach Walker had been one of the toughest of the tough. But ever since he returned home from war to his young family in a small logging town, he’d been struggling. Without a sense of purpose, plagued by PTSD, and masking his pain with heavy drinking, he needed help. Zach and Eric started writing and talking nearly every day, as Eric set down his thoughts on what it takes to build resilience in our lives.

It's comforting to imagine that superstars in their fields were just born better equipped than the rest of us. When a co-worker loses 20 pounds, or a friend runs a marathon while completing a huge project at work, we assume they have more grit, more willpower, more innate talent, and above all, more motivation to see their goals through. But that's not at actually true, as popular Inc.com columnist Jeff Haden proves. "Motivation" as we know it is a myth. Motivation isn't the special sauce that we require at the beginning of any major change.

Publisher's Summary
The New York Times best seller that reveals the safety, security, and survival techniques that 99 percent of Americans don’t know - but should.
When Jason Hanson joined the CIA in 2003, he never imagined that the same tactics he used as a CIA officer for counter intelligence, surveillance, and protecting agency personnel would prove to be essential in every day civilian life. In addition to escaping handcuffs, picking locks, and spotting when someone is telling a lie, he can improvise a self-defense weapon, pack a perfect emergency kit, and disappear off the grid if necessary. He has also honed his “positive awareness” - a heightened sense of his surroundings that allows him to spot suspicious and potentially dangerous behavior - on the street, in a taxi, at the airport, when dining out, or in any other situation.
In his engaging and empowering book Spy Secrets That Can Save Your Life, Jason shares this know-how with listeners, revealing how to:
- Prevent home invasions, carjackings, muggings, and other violent crimes
- Run counter-surveillance and avoid becoming a soft target
- Recognize common scams at home and abroad
- Become a human lie detector in any setting, including business negotiations
- Gain peace of mind by being prepared for anything instead of uninformed or afraid
With the skill of a trained operative and the relatability of a suburban dad, Jason Hanson brings his top-level training to everyday Americans in this must-have guide to staying safe in an increasingly dangerous world.
Critic Reviews
"The secrets Jason reveals in this book have literally saved my life. I used what Jason taught me to escape a potential kidnapping and an attack. I’ll be forever grateful for the techniques he shared with me.” (Heather O’Brien Walker, motivational speaker and life coach)
“When I first met Jason Hanson while he was pitching me his business on Shark Tank, I knew that his company was going to be a winner - and more importantly that I might learn some tips that could one day save my life!” (Daymond John, star of ABC’s Shark Tank)
“You probably have heard me say before that if I wasn’t a cook, I would have loved to be a spy! Jason Hanson lets us all be secret agents by giving us the 411 on how to get out of potential 911 situations. With his inner secrets of the CIA, he can show you tips and tricks that could save you and your families’ lives!” (Rachael Ray)

You will not learn anything new in this book. Paranoia presented in a sort of a sales approach. Author also pushes his website a lot and tries to sign you up for "free" keychains/flashlights/pens etc that come with a hidden $40 subscription that renews automatically. Very disappointing.

Fantastic, Practical and Useful Information
I am really glad that I listened to this book. Hanson offers simple, step by step insight into personal safety, awareness and preparedness. These are teachings that you can use immediately and will change the way to function on a day to day basis.
Several years ago my husband and I had an experience in a city parking lot which could have been deadly. I was driving the car and had backed into a parking space. I had put the car into drive as I was going to pull forward and reposition it in the spot. On driving into the lot I saw a person crouching down between two parked cars. Immediately a different person, a large man wearing a bulky jacket unbuttoned at the top approached our car on the passenger side. My husband lowered the window. The man explained that he had just been released from the local prison and that we were "going to solve all his problems today by giving him all our money". We usually don't carry much cash. My husband explained this. Instantly I noticed the man gesture and the crouching person stood up. The man at the window reached into his jacket and I saw the beginning of a metal object in his hand. A gun. This all happened so quickly--just a flash--but I could picture my husband being shot in this parking lot. Suddenly I noticed that the car was still in drive and my foot was on the brake pedal. So I took my foot off the break and floored the gas racing out of the lot and onto the street and drove away as fast as I could go. The two people chased the car. My husband was horrified by my action. When I occasionally tell this story people tell me that my behavior was reckless----even dangerous. I have often wondered about this and questioned my automatic reaction.
Now that I have listened to this book I know for a fact that I did the right thing. First I had situational awareness--I had seen the second person, second I got "off the X"--meaning I moved, third I did what was not expected, and last I was not impacted by the normalcy bias. These concepts are all clearly and simply explained in the book. Plus these ideas only scratch the surface of what this ex-CIA officer has to offer.
I think this is a book that everyone needs to hear. Yes, it is scary to think of all the possible dangers that exist these days--but I would rather have this knowledge than not. An excellent, sensible and insightful guide. Really worth the time spent listening. Pretty amazing.
