According to one reader/review of Tactical Attitude, “This book is about surviving a deadly encounter, mainly at the mental perspective. The book covers such topics as command presence, mental rehearsal, off-duty survival, sudden stress syndrome, and many others. Almost half of the text is real-life stories told by cops. This makes the book an interesting read.  The most interesting chapter tells about sudden stress syndrome. This subject is handled in a more thorough manner than most other matters in the book, but there are books that cover that subject in far more exhaustive detail. The only really "new" thing to me in the book was the idea of tactical terminology: The words you use to describe something can affect your attitude toward it. For example, if you talk about "routine traffic stops", you start to act like all traffic stops really are routine and present no danger at all.”
