Personal Safety FAQ is a comprehensive guide to staying safe from harm written by Mike S. Medintz. This document discusses seven key principles for personal defense: Alertness, Decisiveness, Aggressiveness, Speed Coolness as well as legal considerations when it comes to self-defense in the US.

The author stresses that one must be aware of their surroundings at all times - paying attention to people around them; cars they don't recognize; suspicious behavior or people who are watching them. He emphasizes trusting your gut instinct if you feel unsafe in any situation.

In addition to being alert and decisive when faced with danger or threat of attack from another person/s., he advises responding with fast and strong counterattack but not initiating contact oneself which would not be legally nor morally justifiable.

Finally he encourages readers to remain calm under pressure so that they can respond quickly without panicking - this will help ensure their safety even further during dangerous situations.
