TitleLeadingThe
SynopsisA stranger in a deserted parking lot offers to help carry a woman's groceries. Is he a good Samaritan, or does he have an ulterior motive? A fired employee says, "You'll be sorry." Will he return with a gun? A man tells a woman after their first date that it is their "destiny" to be married. What will he do when she won't see him again? A mother has an uneasy feeling about the new many she's hired. Should he stay home from work today? No one is guaranteed safety from violence these days. But we can protect ourselves, by learning to trust-and act on-our own sixth sense about danger. Book jacket., True fear is a gift. Unwarranted fear is a curse. Learn how to tell the difference. A date won't take "no" for an answer. The new nanny gives a mother an uneasy feeling. A stranger in a deserted parking lot offers unsolicited help. The threat of violence surrounds us every day. But we can protect ourselves, by learning to trust--and act on--our gut instincts. In this empowering book, Gavin de Becker, the man Oprah Winfrey calls the nation's leading expert on violent behavior, shows you how to spot even subtle signs of danger--before it's too late. Shattering the myth that most violent acts are unpredictable, de Becker, whose clients include top Hollywood stars and government agencies, offers specific ways to protect yourself and those you love, including...how to act when approached by a stranger...when you should fear someone close to you...what to do if you are being stalked...how to uncover the source of anonymous threats or phone calls...the biggest mistake you can make with a threatening person...and more. Learn to spot the danger signals others miss. It might just save your life.

    Good info for anyone who needs to be more self aware about dangers.

    The author has a lot to say but takes toom much verbiage to say it. this would be a good Cliff Notes rather than a whole book. Still, if you can struggle through it you will be smarter about the subject of self awareness in tight spots....

    Not the book advertised!

    What was advertised was the 1999 copy however I was sent the 1997 version. The current version cover is white, blue with a red stripe. The 1997 version is silver, blue with yellow stripe.

    This book helps readers develop situational awareness that could save their lives!

    In Matthew 10:16 in the Bible, God says, "I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves." This book provides the wisdom necessary to discern who is trustworthy and who might be seeking a person's demise. I highly recommend it.
