Resumen del Editor

A book covering the topic of self-defense from a shocking, firsthand perspective. The subjects of criminal violence, self-defense, lethal force, mindset, firearms training, and concealment have never been introduced so comprehensively in one place. Having successfully sold worldwide in its independently published and distributed paperback paperback and Kindle formats, Violence of Mind is now available in audiobook form.

"A powerful, gripping, and self-reflective roller coaster that's part cautionary tale, part how-to book on building the counterpart to the high-order predator, Varg makes no apologies for it being an in-your-face look at real violence from the perspective of that rare someone who can speak from deep personal experience, from both sides of the fence. In an industry littered with those often driven by ego, fantasy, and disconnected from reality, there are a vast number of people in this industry that NEED to read this. A book only an authentic leader in the industry could produce, fully-recommended. Read this book if you're serious about personal protection." (D.P. Friesen, Costa Rica)

required reading

this book should be required reading for anyone that has has a job or situation which requires them to face any level of violence.

One of the best books I've ever read!

I can't begin to express how true this book is on so many levels just nice to see someone else that sees the same things I do.

Absolutely Should Be Required Reading. For Everyone.

Amazing book. All around. I recommend it to everyone I possibly can. We live in a increasingly crazy and dangerous world. Don’t be a statistic. Train your mind and body, and be smart. Can’t praise this book enough. I have physical, audio, and kindle and all are amazing but the audio is the best in my opinion. Read by Varg! So, go get this book, you won’t regret it.

Worth the listen

As a novice security officer, I found the information valuable . I haven't any real work experience but this will help me what to expect and prepare for future events and training.

Awesome

I can’t disagree with anything in this book. As a 20 year Marine, combat vet and police officer I would encourage every boot, newbie and self proclaimed bad ass to educate themselves and read this book.
Semper Fi and thanks for the good read.

Life saving

This book can save lives both from ending and being wasted in prison. I wish I'd had it 20 years ago. It presents many valuable concepts in a simple and well articulated way. It really connects the dots on several "self defense" questions I've had. I'll give it to my boys to read when they're old enough, and would recommend it to anyone.

Great book on the self-defense mindset

This book is fantastic for anyone concerned with martial arts, firearms training, or self-defense. As a practicing martial artist, I find it difficult to find sources on self-defense that aren't clouded by the politics of combat sports, traditional martial arts, and military combat. As someone who was first exposed to violence outside of these environments, the author presents the sobering reality of violent altercations in a way that is realistic without resorting to the mudslinging that is too common in the martial arts community.

If I have one contention, it is that some parts of the book are less-than-masterfly laid out. On occasion, there are tangents that seem to be irrelevant to the section of the book they are found in. However, these are minimally intrusive, and serve are not completely uninformitive.

That being said, this book is a must-read for anyone who is interested in getting involved in self-defense.

A very good surprise

I was unsure of the book at first. The first couple chapters where the author presents his credentials didn’t make a lot of sense at first. But in the chapters that follow his expertise truly shines. This book made me do a lot of thinking.

The best critical mindset book ever written

This book is for real. After listening to this, you’re going to re-think everything about the “2A Sheepdog Grunt Style Gear Monkey” world so many tough guys live in. You can listen to this over, and over again. As a hard/soft skills trainer, this book has humbled me and honed me. This is your second puberty. This book will grow you up. It’ll have you rethinking your video game life and increase your daily efficiency.

This book is about real survival.

Great book, great narrating!

Great book very educational, great to hear about his past experiences. Interesting to hear about the violence mindset from someone who was raised and spend time with predators. His voice is perfect for the narrating. Very down to earth, easy to listen to and absorb everything he says.
