Lt. Col David A. Grossman is an American author and #1 trainer for Law Enforcement who conducts seminars on the psychology of lethal force and truth. He has made revolutionary contributions to our understanding of killing in war, the psychological costs of war, the root causes of the current “virus” of violent crime that is raging around the world, and the process of healing the victims of violence, in war and peace. His first book, On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society, is an analysis of the psychological processes involved with killing another human being and has been cited well over 3300 times. In Stop Teaching Our Kids to Kill: A Call to Action Against TV, Movies and Video Game Violence, Gorssman argues playing violent video games trains children to harden emotionally to the task of murder by simulation. On Combat: The Psychology and Physiology of Deadly Conflict in War and Peace is an extension of his first book. It focuses on coping strategies for the effects of violence on people in careers whose lives are on the line of fire. Grossman's new focus is Grossman on Truth, where he provides truth and equips men and women with mental tools to enable resiliency in the face of adversity. You won't want to miss this personal, in-depth interview with a true legend on our human psyche for both public safety and the impacts of military strategy.
