psilosiren 's review for:
The Gift of Fear: Survival Signals That Protect Us from Violence
by Gavin de Becker
I really liked this book, and I think it will be an important read for most people. It laid out many rational reasons to listen to intuition and talked about the practical applications of fear as opposed to worry or anxiety.
While I think there are clearer ways the author could have expressed himself, I think he did a fairly good job of describing some of the ways he is able to predict violence and danger. It's never an easy task to translate intuition into quantifiable data points, but de Becker does as well a job on it as he could and though many things could get dense or confusing, the gist was still fairly easy to walk away with.
A great read by what is obviously an incredibly gifted and intelligent author. Valuable information.
