★★☆☆☆
a self bragging book
My main issue with this book is how the author spent about 3/4 of the text saying that verbal judo works and how he learned it through his years as a police officer and so on, and talks about how he has two belts in two different styles of martial arts and yada yada yada, but when it comes down to tips/advice/execution, its only about three sentences throughout the entire book that benefited me. I was expecting more on how to deescalate a situation and turn it around and have the other person comply through smooth talking and such, but its mostly an entire book about this guy talking about how hes such a smart experienced person, high education, police officer, martial arts ninja, and verbal judo master, which he never even explains. Everything you need to know is on the back cover.
