ABOUT EMPOWERED LIVING
A strong believer in personal responsibility, Eldridge guides her readers to stop passing the buck, the blame, and the power. Instead of relegating emotional and physical protection to separate areas of expertise, she treats them as one issue with the same challenges and strategies for success. Her book includes specific exercises to teach practical skills (communication, appropriate reaction, recognizing weapons), and visualizations to attain a powerful mindset and empotional equilibrium. The physical techniques are presented as concepts (sensor attack, critical targeting, abduction strategy, gaining space) making them easy to recall and execute. The personal stories and examples shared throughout the book make this an enjoyable read as well as serving to remind us all of our common fallibility and power.

REVIEWS
"Tori's empowering message comes from her strengths of insight and empathy. She has developed the ability to teach how to blend inner awareness of human nature with the outer sensitivity required for moving to just the right place at just the right time while applying just the right fit when it comes to self-defense technology. Tori has mastered our approach of practicing a handful of principals that can apply to both emotional and physical threats, as opposed to memorizing dozens of specific tactics for emotional confrontations and then dozens of completely different techniques for physical assaults. In writing this book, she has grouped together her lessons in the emotional and the physical, coupled as one process, and staked out a position of emphasizing personal responsibility as the key to empowerment and protection.Stephen K. Hayes - Grand Master of To Shin Do, Member of the Black Belt Hall of Fame, Personal Security Escort for Nobel Peace Prize Laureate His Holiness the Dalai Lama of Tibet
"... Tori M. Eldridge whose speaking style is replete with effortless vocal and physical "gesticulational" emphasis honed by years of performance and instructional experience. ...It was rather refreshing, although not completely surprising, that an expert on martial arts would emphasize avoidance techniques in handling those hopefully rare emotional flare-ups that we all experience as human beings. How very realistic, how very wise! Excellent program."
Ray Singer, Optimist Club Secretary
"I've been reading self defense books since I was a kid and this is one of the best I've ever read. It's also the only self defense book that has addressed the emotional issues necessary to survive an attack."
Steve Broadhead - Lieutenant, Federal Bureau of Prisons, Corporal U.S.M.C. 0311
"A refreshing change to the macho prospective on self defense. Too many other books make the assumption, that self defense is purely a physical issue. Ms. Eldridge not only addresses the options that are available for defense, but also travels deeply into the emotional and motivational aspects of an attack. She provides tools and exercises to "empower" an individual, allowing them to avoid being a victim of negative life experiences, whilst remaining strong for both themselves and loved ones. A powerful book for young adults to old and for all genders."
SPC - Amazon Customer Review
"A great book! Being a petite woman, it was not in my realm of thinking that I could possibly defend myself against any attacker. Ms. Eldridge's book clearly opens your eyes as to how many ways exist to defend yourself in common attack situations. More importantly, she explains how to gain the emotional fortitude to back it up. Ms. Eldridge lays the groundwork toward true self-confidence which is the major factor in NEVER being a victim. This is a must-read not only for women but for everyone."
