“Schilling delivers the definitive guide to staying alive and safe no matter where in the world you find yourself, from the grocery store to the battlefield. Through storytelling based on real-world experiences, many his own, he reminds us that with a proper mindset, we all have the ability to shape our environment.” (Grant Mendenhall, special agent, FBI (retired), former assistant director in charge of the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division)

"Some books are very entertaining. Some are very educational. The Power of Awareness is both, with a good helping of inspiration thrown in. Readers will find that Schilling's philosophy and methodical approach have applications far beyond the extreme situations we all want to avoid. His techniques make 'awareness' a way of dealing with life, whether extreme or not." (Jim DeFelice, number one New York Times best-selling author)

“For special operations or clandestine officers, tactics, technique and procedures (TTPs) are a way of life and make the difference between life and serious injury. Dan Schilling, in an exceedingly entertaining and enlightening descriptive manner, provides rules and tools to make the everyday person’s life easier and safer. His stories, anecdotes, and lessons learned are as much fun to read as they are informative.” (Lt. General Kurt A. Cichowski, USAF (ret.), former CIA associate director and vice commander Air Force Special Operations Command)
