Re: Beyond OODA: Developing the Orientation for Deception, Conflict and Violence

Quotes from the book:
It is very common to see people spend 100% of their time learning to run guns effectively and quickly. It literally is all they do in their spare time and is the subject of every single post on social media that they make. At best, they will mix in some Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and powerlifting to round out the skills that make them “hard to kill.”

...But when you spend some actual time in the criminal world, especially around ultra-violent criminals, you learn that martial skills and weapons make up such a small percentage of what actually makes someone dangerous. It is the mind--the ability to be vicious and cunning, calculating and manipulative--that makes one truly dangerous.

...If your learning does not involve strategy, then your knowledge will likely never be specific or fully developed.
This book isn't the last word on developing mindset and strategy, but it is a good orientation on the criminal mindset and what it takes to win in conflict.
