Those seem like good books. The longer one might be a civilian replacement for Street Survival. I'll have to read it. I didn't see any mention of mental rehearsal, visualization, and managing stress in the excepts/overviews, but those don't always list everything. If they cover those as well as tactical thought processes, then these sound like great resources. The only caveat, which I should have mentioned in my book suggestion too, is that any book dealing with potential legal matters on self-defense is only written generally and one should also read their state's statutes/code.
