Gift of Fear

Gavin De Becker's The Gift of Fear really sets itself apart from the typical book about crime.What I find interesting is that the contents in the book come from a man who is not only educated, but is also a real life victim to crime and violent behavior. When somebody can support thier books with real life experience, that is something worth reading. The Gift of Fear is an excellent example of how one has that "gut feeling or instinct " and how you can learn to utilize it to win the big game, the fight , or win back your very life...The Gift of Fear is a great book and now he has another titled Just 2 Seconds which I currently am reading. I encourage you to check them out !

Read it 10 years ago and am reading it again

10 years ago this book shocked me. I gave it to my daughter, my friends and other women to read. It's an IMPERATIVE read ladies! Buy 2 copies today -- one for yourself and one for your daughter. Don't put it off. My husband read it and loved it too. Thanks Gavin.

Gavin de Becker does it again...

I just saw Gavin de Becker on Oprah and I am currently reading his new book, JUST 2 SECONDS. This book is just as compelling as The Gift of Fear. Gavin de Becker is a pioneer in his industry and even more, a great writer. In the book, Gift of Fear Mr. de Becker speaks about listening to instincts and the reasons behind them. Furthermore, understanding future behaviors with current actions is addressed in the book in an in-depth manner. Both books are written only as he could and it is certain that everyone should add them to their collection or home library. The information is compelling so much so that you can not put these books down.

So far, JUST 2 SECONDS has drawn me in as he dissects the moments before an event. His ability to draw my attention in on this very crucial and minuscule time period has been incredible. Mr. de Becker writes the information in an understandable, interesting enthralling manner. I look forward to finishing this book and to see what he writes next. Don't miss out on these books!
