 Empowering! September 20, 2008
I believe violent crime would be significantly reduced if everyone read this book and took it to heart. The safety precautions described are based on the intuition we're all born with. Unfortunately, most of us have been taught by society to suppress and ignore our intuition. The Gift of Fear teaches the reader how to recognize their intuition and therefore how to avoid becoming a victim of violence.
About fear's affects September 19, 2008
A very good book about fear and the intuitive voice it offers when coming upon those certain forks in the roads which offer consequence.
Gift of Fear September 18, 2008
A most powerful read about intuition with real suggestions on tips to be on the alert for from others who may appear to be helpful but are not. How to "read people" better. Excellent.
The Gift of Fear September 18, 2008
Every domestic violence shelter in America should have a few copies of this. These are cases the author personally worked on with the victims.
People that commit violent crimes fit a profile that the author describes. He gives his expert advice for managers on the process of interviewing and personalities to avoid hiring. Also, some high profile cases of stalking and violence including the O.J. Simpson case.

I recommend this book to more people than any other book and I am a reading addict. This book is already a classic and is required reading for anyone who wants to learn how to avoid violence and hooking up with a dangerous man. If you are in an abusive relationship, you need to read this book. If you are a parent then you ought to have your teens read this book. It could save their life.
A friend of mine saved her life by listening the creepy feeling (goose bumps and all) she got when she met her boyfriend's new room mate. One day she went by to see her boyfriend and only the new room mate was home and he encouraged her to come in the house.. My friend said no. The room mate was a serial killer who arrested a short time later. Listen to those creepy feelings.
I send a copy of the book to my nieces when they are 16 or 17 years old.
My 16 yr old niece told me that she was at a Borders bookstore looking up a title and an young man who was working there ..asked my niece if she needed any help..she politely said no thanks...he continued to come over and ask her over and over. Then she remembered this book and it stated when you tell someone no and they don't listen...they are not nice people.
This book is saving lives. I highly recommend it. Come to think of it..I should send the book to my nephews too.
