The Gift of Fear Is the Gift of Awareness
Our intuition has been honed through a million years of awareness - from mastodons to murderers. As `sophisticated human beings', we have almost been trained to ignore those signals about danger - the hairs on the back of our neck, the tingling in our fingers, that shortness of breath. This sense of fear is our first signal that all is not right with our world. But we need to acknowledge and pay ...

ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS
Este libro esta magnifico! What a wonderful book! A real self-esteem lifter. It was the first book to truly make me question societal 'truths' on women and their place in the world. It has the right balance of humourous and serious dialect while revealing that a flap of cloth has been placed over your eyes since the day you were born. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO ANYONE WHO VALUES WOMEN (OR WHO DOESN'T ...

great safety tips on keeping children safe
I love Gavin de Becker's perspective on teaching safety to children. He has some ideas that buck what a lot of parents know to be the norm when teaching safety. For example - if a child is lost he likes to teach them, instead of finding a police officer, to find a mother... that a woman with children is less likely to be a predator, and more likely to stay with the child until their parent is ...
THE GIFT OF FEAR [SURVIVAL SIGNALS THAT PROTECT US FROM VIOLENCE]
Gavin De Becker
Little Brown
, 1997
True fear is often a signal that can save your life. Are you listening? The baby-sitter you've just hired makes you uneasy--what should you do? You sense you are being followed --do you confront the stranger...or run? A fired employee says "You'll be sorry"--should you take him seriously? A person in the elevator you are about to enter just doesn't look right--do you wait for the next car? A date won't take "no" for an answer. The new nanny ...
