The Gift of Fear: Survival Signals That Protect Us from Violence by Gavin de Becker

emotional informative tense medium-paced

5.0

This book should be required reading for every human being alive - and no, I'm not going to say just women, although the safety information contained within is undoubtedly more relevant for women. I've read The Gift of Fear several times, and it shakes me to my core every single time. I will say that I find Lundy Bancroft's Why Does He Do That a lot more informative and sympathetic specifically on the subject of domestic violence, but I'm not going to remove any stars for that because Gavin de Becker's exploration of intuition is simply unparalleled. A must-read!
