Tonight on Armed American Radio, Mike Janich talked about trusting your instincts.... The fact is that you really shouldn't underestimate any of the natural survival positives of your brain and body's natural reactions.
I talk about them in the Combat Focus Shooting book as they relate to developing Intuitive Defensive Shooting Skills. Here are a few more books that are great reads and offer a lot of insight into how your instincts and pre-cognitive mental processes can help you survive:
The Gift of Fear, Gavin deBecker
Blink, Malcolm Gladwell
Gut Feelings, Gerd Gigerenzer
