The Gift of Fear


Today I write about one of the most important books I know about intuition-
The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker. I highly recommend this book, published a few years ago but very relevant today.It is written by a world class expert on predicting violent behavior. If you follow de Becker's advice you will live more fully, courageously and realistically.
Push the Boundaries of Intuition with Hypnosis

This post is prompted because two of my friends, Radha Singh (Wisdom From the Heart)and Haimdat Sawh whom I recently talked to about this book thanked me for guiding them to it.Their enthusiastic responses reminded me how important this book is to all of us.

Gavin de Becker says victims of violent behavior usually feel a sense of fear before any threat or violence takes place. They have a choice.Distrust the fear, or use it to force them to action that can save them. The author argues that we can all learn to recognize these signals of the "universal code of violence," and use them as tools to help us survive. In the book readers are taught how to identify the warning signals of a potential attacker and recommends strategies for dealing with the problem before it becomes life threatening. The book has many actual case studies which are gripping and suspenseful.De Becker uses these to suggest tactics for dealing with similar situations.

Learning to predict violence is essential to preventing it. If we understand the psychology of violence,we may be able to prevent more violent crime.

We all have a great gift of intuition,The Gift of Fear shows us how to use it effectively.
