QuickRead presents a summary of The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker:
A guide for learning how to follow your intuition and knowing the warning signs of impending danger.
True fear is a gift. You've probably felt a gut instinct at some point in your life. Many people do. The girl who got a bad vibe from her date the first night they met, the mom who felt something just didn't feel right about a potential babysitter, or even the woman in a parking lot who's solicited by a stranger who wants to help carry her groceries. We've all been in an uncomfortable situation, luckily, if you're reading this, your situation didn't turn deadly. Unfortunately, not everyone is as lucky, but there are ways to pinpoint impending danger. Throughout The Gift of Fear, Gavin de Becker explains the warning signs of someone who wishes to do you harm. Perhaps they don't take "no" for an answer or maybe they talk too much to hide their nerves and gain your trust. Keep reading to find out how criminals try to solicit their victims, discover how a person's body language can uncover their true intentions, and lastly, learn how to follow your gut and stay safe.
