I've read this book twice and would read it again. Every woman and young teen girl should read this book. Gaven De Becker gives the reader solid advice and encourages them to trust their gut, their intuition, their gift of fear. Information in this book should go hand in hand with any self defense class.

Another great book on the gut instinct, only in the context of physical danger. I read this book in one night.

Really interesting and a great anecdote to our culture of fear.

Fascinating description of ways to distinguish real from imaginary threats from a personal bodyguard and protector to the stars.

This was an interesting look at what drives people to do what they do and how to use our own instincts to recognize signs of danger. It was a slow start for me but became much more interesting as it went along.

EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS

A must read/own!
