Threat management expert Spencer Coursen offers proactive strategies to protect yourself and your loved ones in the event of hostile encounters and emergency situations in The Safety Trap: A Security Expert’s Secrets for Staying Safe in a Dangerous World.
Despite what the news and social media would have you believe, we have never lived in a safer time than we are now. Unfortunately, we live under a false sense of security enforced by authorities that only alleviates fears without reducing risk. We have placed our personal safety, and our responsibilities of guarding it, into the hands of people trained only to respond to crises, not actively prevent them. Our blind faith in institutions to protect us has only dulled our natural survival instincts.
The truth is that when we feel safest is actually when we are in the most danger.
This is the paradox of The Safety Trap.
When you don’t expect danger, you simply fail to see the signs that something bad is about to happen. But the signs are always there, and staying safe is about training yourself to see them. In easy-to-implement methods of maintaining vigilance, assessing risk, and taking preventative measures, you’ll discover how to be alert without anxiety and know how to best protect and defend yourself on the job, in school, in public places, at home, and online.
With Coursen’s simple formula of Awareness + Preparation = Safety as your guide—as well as real world examples of managing threats—you will learn how to develop the skills and confidence to reclaim your own security and avoid The Safety Trap.

Doesn’t match current times
Our crime in this country are at an all time high right now. I will continue to read it but the first part does not apply for 2021
The Safety Trap
If the author is a security expert he’s not sharing any ground breaking security secrets in this book. The subject matter is mundane and obvious to anyone over the age of twelve. I was looking for something more insightful towards my personal security and safety. I purchased the audio book that is read by the author in a monotone robot voice that only adds to the dullness of this book. I don’t like to give negative reviews about an authors professional insight and personal experience however I felt as if the author was holding back on his true knowledge of the subject.
The Safety Trap!
I just finished the audiobook, it was a great listen which everyone needs to hear!
