Description
JUDGED IN SECONDS (2026) – Audiobook
By Imran Ali, Esq. & Dr. Mitch Javidi
Judged in Seconds brings together constitutional law and neuroscience to examine one of the most challenging questions in modern public safety: What happens inside the human brain in the seconds before everything changes?
Drawing on Imran Ali’s experience as the prosecutor in the Kim Potter case and Dr. Mitch Javidi’s decades of research in human performance under extreme stress, this audiobook introduces Pre-Escalation Syndrome™â€”a new framework for understanding how physiological, psychological, and environmental factors influence judgment before critical incidents occur.
Rather than taking sides, Judged in Seconds challenges listeners to look beyond the visible moment and consider the conditions that shape human decision-making. Grounded in constitutional law, neuroscience, and real-world experience, it offers a thoughtful perspective on accountability, leadership, training, and the prevention of future tragedies.
We are all judged in seconds. The question is whether we can learn to judge those seconds justly.
