About this book

"Matloff assesses major threats with careful authority and good humor, then gives us the logistical and emotional tools necessary to cope with them." —Ada Calhoun,  New York Times–bestselling author of  Why We Can't Sleep
In an age of anxiety, we yearn for some control. We want to make sensible decisions to keep us on track when everything seems to be going off the rails. As a seasoned war correspondent with over thirty years of experience in crisis zones and a pioneering safety consultant, Judith Matloff knows about personal security and risk management. In  How to Drag a Body and Other Safety Tips You Hope to Never Need, she shares her tried-and-true methods to help you confidently handle whatever challenges comes your way. Learn how to:
  1. Perform emergency first aid
  2. Create a bunker
  3. Keep yourself safe when traveling
  4. Keep yourself safe online
  5. Keep yourself safe in any circumstance with invaluable tips on dozens of other situations

Blending humorous anecdotes with serious advice, Matloff explains how to remain upright in stampedes, avoid bank fraud, prevent sexual assault, stay clean in a shelter, and even be emotionally prepared for loss. From cybersecurity and active shooter situations to natural disasters and emotional resilience, her tips will give even the most anxious person a sense of control over life's unpredictable perils. Unfortunately, we can't anticipate all the crises of our lives. But with this book, you'll find the skills and confidence you need to weather an emergency.
