We all need emotional blinders: the etiquette that keeps society
smoothly moving depends on it. But when you absolutely must rely on
another person, you have to be able to assess them objectively. Red
Flags shares simple strategies anyone can use to spot deceptive, or
dangerous people, who use ingratiation and social convention to
draw in and lull victims. Readers will learn how even the most
sceptical of us use rose coloured lenses on those around us, in
three sections: Blinded by Desire - from the alluring lenses of
attraction and positive attention to the blindness of marital
"bliss" and the distorted lens of delusion. Overlooking Red Flags
in a Professional Setting - how reassuring proximity and the false
security of credibility and similarity can lead to costly mistakes.
Be Afraid of What You Can't See - the ultimate cost of wearing
emotional blinders around the truly disturbed criminal, from sexual
predation to domestic abuse, stalking and cyberstalking. Readers
will learn how to: Avoid selective attention, Observe people over
time (bad guys rely on first impressions), Ask questions: most
people's favourite topic is themselves, Cyber sleuth to verify
information and track down inconsistencies. You need this book if
you: Want to know if a potential boyfriend is trustworthy, Are
interviewing or hiring new employees, Are selecting anyone to take
care of your children, Are lending money or property or Have
partners in business.
Think Safety - First, Labels & Directions is a book calling for
Standardized Safety LABELING of products found in and around the
home and garage. From Poison Control Center Data, there is evidence
that more than one million people are accidentally poisoned
annually, including hundreds of thousands of children. Adults and
the children under their care are in danger from chemicals for
cleaning and other purposes that are being misused. There is a
great need for Standardized Safety LABELING with Consistent
Formatting, Concise Statements, Easily Understood Wording, and
Clear Directions. This important information is presented in this
book. It is then up to YOU. What are YOU going to do?
It's a book with 'Occupational Health & Safety' in mind. It's a
philosophy using drawings and/ or words to teach people about
staying safe, no matter what their age or educational background.
You don't have to be a poet or writer to write safety messags; same
as you don't need to be an artist of world renown to draw the
pictures; you don't even need to be politically correct in what you
say, although saying that, if you carry something too far then it
goes into the category of discrimination. None of these three
things save peoples lives, but people do and that is why it is so
important to educate people of all ages about staying safe. It's a
philosophy that can be tailor made for young or old. It's an easy
concept, yet it has not been done quite like this before. Having
spoken to health professionals about this project, they have been
amazed and over whelmed by this project and the simplicity of it
and even one health professional asked, "Why he had never thought
of it before and then he wished that he had thought of this
concept." So browse the pages, get some ideas and start being safe,
because the life that you save may not be your own, but rather of
someone in your family, friend or workmate. Lessen the
odds...Reduce the risk...Be safe.
This is a unique safety and self-defense book. Zombie Safety and
Self-Defense Handbook is designed to entice people, especially
young people, to read it BEFORE they run into trouble. It includes
a wide range of very practical ideas on how to avoid real monsters
in today's world. And people in college and beyond may actually
read it because it's not too melodramatic or morbid. High school
students can benefit too, if they are not easily offended by
references to alcohol, drugs, fighting, weaponry, and dating. It is
brief, readable, up-to-date, and appropriately irreverent. The
self-defense portion of the book is also different from other
books. It is intentionally designed to be very simple and very
practical. A person who practices the techniques is likely to
actually remember them and use them if trouble presents itself.
