Violence of Mind

Training and Preparation for Extreme Violence

De: Varg Freeborn

Narrado por: Varg Freeborn

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.

honesty

I love the honesty and direct facts of the content that is presented in this book. it is clear and understood.

Excellent!!

Not only did I read the book, I listened to the Audio version as well, it’s that good. Varg does an outstanding job of explaining his first hand experiences and stories within the entire book. VOM is a great guide in helping understand the violence in this world and the consequences. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!

Very good book

The authors narration takes getting used to, but by the end of the book he is much smoother.
His techniques for learning are excellent and can be applied to any discipline

Excellent material for all experience levels

This is a book that will seem violent to the average suburbanite but practical to a student of violence A.K.A. a self defense student. Varg has articulated the realities of violence and the fundamental knowledge required to prepare yourself for a violent criminal encounter. This is a great book for the beginning student and seasoned instructor. Varg's position on mental preparedness, situational awareness and posturing, and training methodologies are spot on.
