The gift that keeps on giving!

If Gavin De Becker is right, the rotten kids in my neighborhood will someday realize I'm the most generous MF they'll ever know.

A must read!

This is so full of information we all need. I feel all teachers should read this to realize they CAN have a huge impact on children raised in violence and abuse. Be the good person in their life that may turn them around to be productive instead of more violence and prison. Excellent ways to recognize predator behavior. Excellent in saying women are too polite (even for their own protection) to ignore bad people.

One of the Most Insightful Read

Gavin De Becker's "The Gift of Fear" is one of the MOST IMPORTANT books that I have ever read as it provides a great deal of information and invaluable insights. This is the book that gives detailed information about the "gut feelings" or red flags that one experienced but ignored. By being aware of these "gut feelings" and act on them, we would be much better protected than ignoring them where we would be exposed to unspeakable dangers.

Violence can be predicted and avoided. This book gave so many examples and instances as well insights for the reader to be better aware of fears and of the difference between real fear and unwarranted anxiety.

With roughly 430 pages and 16 chapters (including an epilogue), "The Gift of Fear" is very informative yet insightful read. With my humble opinion, I would strongly recommend this book.

The Gift of Fear

My Mom & Dad purchased copies of this book for themselves and for each of their children after hearing about it on Oprah. I am presently reading it and have found it very interesting. The author gives specific examples, using the names and stories of real people, who were victimized because they did not listen to their "gut feelings". By recreating the scenes in their minds, the author helps the victims scrutinize and pinpoint the things to which they should have paid closer attention. These "sub-conscious" red flags are then shared with the reader.

Believe those little feeelings

This is a book that gives examples of people who have listened or not listened to that little inner voice or unusual feeling and what occurred because of that feeling. It provides support for tuning in to those feelings to protect yourself and others.
