You can’t judge a book by its cover; especially in the case of Joe Lawrence’s new ebook, You can’t beat me. The splashing of water caused by two clenched fists may lead the reader to believe this is a fighting for Dummies manual. The reality is that the book does teach how to win every fight, just not always in the physical sense. As Lawrence points out, “The smartest and best strategy is to remain neutral and refrain from fighting. This does not imply cowardice or victimhood; it means making the choice to walk away when possible. It is important to remember that every fight has two losers. In every fight, both parties lose something, even the supposed winner.”
It is remarkable that this lifelong martial arts competitor and United States Air Force Mastor Instructor emphasizes avoiding fights and conflict instead of endorsing them. It is apparent he could manage any competitor but that wasn’t a by-product of years in martial arts training. He took the initiative to learn about what causes a fight, what escalades a fight, and the body language involved in fighting. Armed with this knowledge regarding physical conflicts, he applied it to verbal interactions and gaining the upper hand to diffuse, not overtake, the opponent.
Lawrence uses national, work related and social conflicts as the arena to demonstrate his techniques to avoiding a physical brawl. He reveals the trapping, kickboxing and weapon range as it applies to verbal oppositions. He uses real time, real life examples of how his techniques work to assure everyone is a winner.
In the event a physical interaction is unavoidable, Lawrence gives advice on how to overcome your opponent. That is not the focus of his book, though, as he points out, “The only way to truly win a fight is to walk away from it.”
Lawrence is a reputable resource when it comes to conflict resolution. His success in life is directly related to his ability to see an up coming dispute and resolve it before it escalades. Thanks to You Can’t Beat Me, anyone can apply the same strategy and acquire the same success in their daily interactions. “Take this knowledge and use it to make a positive difference in others lives. Show them that you are the bigger person and break the cycle of escalation.”
