THE GIFT OF FEAR by Gavin de Becker

You will absolutely want to share this non-fiction book with the women in your life — your mother, children, friends and co-workers.
The first line on the back of the book says it all: True Fear is a Gift.
De Becker is a renowned behavior expert. In this book he shares tips and suggestions that will validate your inate sense of when something is wrong. He suggests that we listen to and trust our gut instincts. He shares tips on how to recognize subtle signs of danger and how to protect yourself from violence.
I’m finding this book both riveting and empowering. He covers topics such as domestic violence, stalkers and how to assess threats. Reading it has brought to mind the times I trusted my instincts and the instances when I didn’t. I only wish I’d read it sooner.
