The Gift of Fear by Gavin De Becker

#1

Post by SIGFan43 »

This book isn't about weapons, but it is important to read for anyone who is concerned about their own safety from predators. This book mainly discusses the natural innate human intuition about lurking danger and why most humans, particularly females, ignore their own intuition. It discusses survival signals that protect us from violence on the streets, near your home, and in the workplace.

I found it on eBay and Amazon.com.

Just know that Gavin isn't particularily supportive of RKBA. His other two books "Protecting the Gift" - about protecting children and "Fear Less" are excellent books as well.
