An abusive husband pounding on the door. A disgruntled employee brandishing a gun. These days, no one is safe from the specter of violence. But according to Gavin de Becker, everyone can feel safer, act safer, be safer -- if they learn how to listen to their own sixth sense about danger. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e De Becker has made a career of protecting people and predicting violent behavior. His firm handles security for many of the leading figures in Hollywood and Silicon Valley, and his computerized risk-assessment system helps analyze threats to members of Congress and the Supreme Court. Now, in this unprecedented guide, de Becker shares his expertise with everyone. Covering all the dangerous situations people typically face -- street crime, domestic abuse, violence in the workplace -- de Becker provides real-life examples and offers specific advice on restraining orders, self-defense, and more. But the key to self-protection, he demonstrates, is learning how to trust our own intuitions. For everyone who's ever felt threatened, this book is essential reading.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e de Becker, Gavin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Little, Brown Paperbacks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePub Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 2021-03-30\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC:\u003c\/b\u003e Self-Help|Safety \u0026amp; Security|Personal Safety \u0026amp; Self-Defense|Self-Help|Safety \u0026amp; Security|General (See Also House \u0026amp; Home - Safety \u0026amp; Security)|Social Science|Violence in Society|Self-Help|Personal Growth|General\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSubjects:\u003c\/b\u003e Women|Fear|Psychology|Crime prevention|Violence|Fear of crime|Violent crimes|Risk perception|Intuition|Social aspects|Prevention|Psychological aspects|Crimes against|Victims of violent crimes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.8 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780316235778\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eASIN:\u003c\/b\u003e -\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSKU:\u003c\/b\u003e SP-9780316235778\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little, Brown Paperbacks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52146992021785,"sku":"SP-9780316235778","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/0380\/5209\/files\/9780316235778_spiral.png?v=1774149472","url":"https:\/\/westbindery.com\/products\/the-gift-of-fear-survival-signals-that-protect-us-from-violence","provider":"West Bindery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
