Lt. Col. Dave Grossman. I have a copy on my bedside table. Another good book is "The Gift of Fear" by Gavin De Becker. His theories rest on the fact that TRUE fear is galvanizing, not paralizing... that from a bio-mechanical point of view, it should almost always promote action rather than non-action. I believe that to be true in my experiences, and yet you do hear of people who "freeze" or pull a "deer in the headlights". I wonder what sets one human beng apart from another in that regard. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
