Great list, Keith. The first 5 are must-reads. Those will keep you busy awhile if you really read and study them. Some are classics, like “Left of Bang,” and it’s my mantra; I have often reviewed and referred to its concepts from time to time.

Also, highly recommend:
“Just 2 Seconds” by Gavin de Becker (my favorite when paired with Left of Bang)
In addition to the “The Gift of Fear” by Gavin de Becker, which you recommended, checkout
“Dangerous Instinct “ by Mary Ellen O’Toole, Ph.D.
The interesting concept behind the those two books is that they cover the same topic by two experts, and they have somewhat differing opinions. I lean one way; You pick for yourself.
I’m currently reading “Building Shooters: Applying Neuroscience Research to Tactical Training System Design and Training Delivery” (2016) Dustin P. Salomon
It’s a heavy read but anyone who teaches would benefit from it.
I’m a huge believer in reading books like Keith has listed. Learn to glean what applies to your specific job and skills. I come away with a lot from some books, but at least something from all of them.
