The Washington Times
published my review of The New Superpowers for Women.
“When I was seventeen years
old, I was kidnapped from a shopping mall in broad daylight, taken to an
isolated location, and sexually assaulted,” writes Angela Rose in her foreword
to Steve Kardian’s “The New Superpower for Woman.”
“When I saw a man approaching
me, all of my internal alarms went off. He looked menacing and walked in an odd
way. The parking lot was empty. It seemed that he was following me. I had an
urge to run but ignored the messages my intuition was sending me, partly
because I didn’t want to cause a scene.”
Angela Rose, a survivor
activist and the founder and executive director of Promoting Awareness/Victim
Empowerment (PAVE), goes on to state that this event that happened 20 years ago
had profoundly changed her life. She notes that when Steve Kardian heard her
story, he told her that she was lucky to be alive. She learned that
statistically, the chances of surviving such an ordeal was less than 5 percent.
“The New Superpower for
Women” is a must-read for all women so that they will never have to hear the
words “You’re lucky to be alive.” It is a must-read for all parents so that
they will never have to go through what my mom and dad did,” Ms. Rose writes.
Steve Kardian, a career law
enforcement officer, FBI defense tactics instructor, and contractor for the
U.S. Marshals Service, specializes in crime prevention and risk reduction for
women’s safety. In his book, Mr. Kardian offers a guide to assessing predatory
behavior before something happens. He explains what criminals and predators
look for when choosing a victim, as well as how a woman can master the cues her
body language sends out.
… Trust your gut, Mr. Kardian
advises. A woman is one step ahead when she uses her intuition.
“Your subconscious mind is
wired for safety. It analyzes and processes your surroundings constantly
without your being aware of it, and will send out an alarm when it registers
that things are not as they should be,” Mr. Kardian explains.
