Offering techniques trusted by trained bodyguards, this guide to self-protection takes the reader beyond self-defense, offering an insider's tips on discouraging the attention of a "human predator," increasing awareness of one's surroundings, utilizing specific defensive techniques, and avoiding being an easy target. Detailed case studies of everyday people who have suffered violent assaults are followed by an analysis of what went right or wrong, as well as alternative actions and reactions to the assault—all in the hopes of increasing chances of survival in the case of an attack and, more importantly, preventing an attack from ever occurring.

From the Publisher:

Kudos to Kristie Kilgore. As we live in a vulnerable society, violence and exploitation can happen to you at any time. As such, it is each person's responsibility to protect himself or herself. Yet, though we study for college entrance exams or the driver's license test, we give little or no thought to personal protection.

Kristie Kilgore has developed some truly revolutionary theories on how violence occurs and, accordingly, has developed equally revolutionary techniques on how to avoid becoming a victim of violence. "Eyes Wide Open" is a groundbreaking book that will be studied years from now for its interesting new methods of personal protection.

Whether you've personally experienced violence or not, chances are you will. It's time to think about how to protect yourself when and if violence comes your way. This book is for people from all walks of life: women, men, young, old, struggling, wealthy. This is truly a book that can save your life.

From the Author:

"Self-defense classes and martial arts training are very helpful, but my motto is that self-defense is what you do when your self-protection plan has failed," says Ms. Kilgore.

"Chances are good that unless you receive special training, violence will cross your path at some time in your life. Accept it. Then learn what you can do to prevent this situation," she says. Denial is no solution, says the martial artist. "I've heard all sorts of excuses why people think they shouldn't build their own personal protection plan. 'It won't happen to me', they say. Well, with 11 million violent victimizations occurring in the U.S. every year, it won't be long before we're all touched by violence."

Practice makes perfect, says Ms. Kilgore. "After all, we study for a driver's license. We take time to learn our work and school schedules. Why shouldn't we take the time to practice our personal protection plan?"
