Book Preview:

#1 To better understand predatory behaviors, think about which category of predator you are, and why you’re doing what you’re doing. Then ask yourself how your motivation stacks up against the motivations of a predator.

#2 Humans are territorial creatures, and we will fight to protect what we consider to be ours. We all have egos, and people will go to extremes to protect that feeling because it feeds their self-image.

#3 Predatory behaviors tend to be excessive and unforgiving. Understanding why you’re being targeted will help you identify and correct your own vulnerabilities. A good place to start is to examine the mindsets of victims. For this exercise, we’ll be borrowing from the work of David DeSteno, a professor of psychology at Northeastern University. DeSteno has spent years studying why people feel anger and resentment. He’s found that there are three types of people who get angry: victims, challengers, and guardians. -> The first step towards achieving situational awareness and avoiding being a victim is to understand why you may be targeted. predators tend to stick to a specific set of conditions when selecting their victims, and knowing how they think can help you identify and correct your own vulnerabilities.

#4 The first step towards achieving situational awareness and avoiding being a victim is to understand why you may be targeted. predators stick to a specific set of conditions when selecting their victims, and knowing how they think can help you identify and correct your own vulnerabilities.
