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.

"I’ve known Spencer Coursen for over a decade. He’s actually, personally, kept me safe in very unsafe situations. He finally wrote a book that gives you and me some incredible tips on how to stay safe in an unsafe world. It’s not to make you paranoid, just prepared, with real world tips I use all the time."

S.E. Cupp, Journalist
"The Safety Trap is a benchmark safety and security reference for everyone. Like all great U.S. Army Rangers, Coursen is leading the way with deliberate passion and experience."

Clint Emerson, Retired Navy Seal, #1 NYT Nestselling Author
"The Safety Trap teaches readers how to evaluate and how to respond to danger, how to manage it when necessary, and how to triumph over it when all else fails. The Safety Trap is the best book on personal safety I’ve read in the last decade.”

Vincent O’Neill, Chief, Headquarters Security for the International Monetary Fund
"The Safety Trap is a must read book for anyone concerned with not only their personal safety and security, but of those around them as well. Spencer Coursen is one of those select few in the safety and security profession who fully understands how to manage actual risk.”

Jonathan Wackrow, CNN Law Enforcement Analyst, Retired Secret Service Agent
