This is the second book I have read by the laughing dragon. It has a few insightful topics but mostly is a teaser of information, i.e. it doesn't tell you enough how, but makes you aware that such techniques are possible. It some ways, I feel that the author using his own tricks on the readers. While the author's sense of humor is sort of corny, I still found the subject interesting.

Psychological warfare for dojo ballerinas. This isn’t what I’d call a “great” book, but it’s a better guide to self-defense than all the “Poke ‘em inna eye an’ kick ‘em inna nuts!” books on the subject combined. In all fairness, there’s some interesting stuff here. I’ve read better, but this is a good starting point for those who know little or nothing of f***ing with people’s heads. There are also a few useful -– if obscure -- tidbits for those who do. In a decaying, degenerating culture, this is must-have information, even if it’s presented on a “kindergarten” level – the level upon which most martial artists of my acquaintance think…

This man is a horrible, terrifying human being -- but at least he's one of those real-life villains who's actually willing to share his secrets. Now I know what to watch out for next time I suspect I'm being manipulated. For what it's worth, the book's a very easy and engaging read.
