About this ebook

Updated 2016 version. Help young adults avoid the major sand traps of life!

Trust Your Radar provides clear information and practical solutions, delivered with memorable, entertaining, and fun stories from the author's varied careers. We've got to break the cycle of every generation repeating the same mistakes – and have fun along the way!

Distills everything young people need into one plain-spoken, fun to read format.

Parents: You want your kids to know these things!

Target audience – Ages 14 – 40 and concerned parents.

Identify your Radar – It’s your brain functioning optimally; not a vague intuition or sixth sense.

Train your Radar – Stock your memory bank with key information on crime avoidance, healthy weight, tattoos, getting organized, respectful relationships, going to college or work. Cut through fake complexity with clear thinking on evaluating people, investments, credit cards. Learn the most dangerous toxic personality types and avoid them like the plague.

Meet the Radar Jammers – They have the power to turn down or turn off our clear thinking Radars. Some are well known: alcohol and drugs, peer pressure, infatuation, anger. Others are surprising: showing off, rushing toward marriage, unthinking religions, the need for speed, and even fast food!
Learn specific techniques to deal with them all.

Unprecedented approach – Practical, real life lessons filled with engaging, funny, and poignant stories from the worlds of medicine, surgery, firefighting, police work, scuba diving, golf, and other adventures. A totally unique, straightforward approach in an easy and fun to read format.

Author

CB Brooks MD

Physician specializing in Orthopedic Surgery, Microsurgery of the Hand, Wrist and Upper Extremity. Has been known to reattach amputated body parts, if requested. Firefighter who went from volunteer to certified firefighter, driver-engineer, lieutenant, captain, assistant chief, dive rescue team leader, safety officer, fire instructor, and three time president of fire-rescue volunteer associations. Police Officer who actually liked road patrol, bicycle and marine units, capturing aggressive drivers, and teaching young people about conflict resolution, anti-bullying, personal safety, alcohol and drug strategies, and decision making skills. Scuba Divemaster and founder of fire-rescue dive team. Always amazed at the undersea world and its creatures – especially the big ones – whale sharks, great whites, manta rays, schooling hammerheads, whales and dolphins of all types are personal favorites. Has dived the Caribbean, South Africa, Australia's Great Barrier Reef, South America's Galapagos Islands, Micronesia, Hawaii, and lovely dark water accident and crime scenes. Golfer on an elusive quest to "just get consistently decent" at this loopy game. Likes the scenery, nature, walking with interesting people. Has had two holes-in-one so far, anticipates more. Started as a caddie, became a part-time greenskeeper later in life. Teed it up in Scotland, England, and Ireland. Has strongly advocated that the hole be doubled in size; hasn't heard back yet on this from the USGA, or the Royal and Ancient. Comedian, amateur, has never been paid. Standup, skits, event emcee, charity auctioneer, valedictorian – no weddings or birthday parties please. Miscellaneous bonus careers: Fancy doorman, gas station attendant, drummer in a bagpipe band (awesome!), lifeguard, janitor, mechanic's helper, airport limo driver, nocturnal office cleaner, others I can't remember.
