The Gift of Fear: Survival Signals That Protect Us from Violence by Gavin de Becker
informative
reflective
medium-paced
4.5
i picked this book up b/c it was discussed during one of my ethics class and it was mentioned in a true crime podcast that i listen to. GdeB does a great job breaking down the different between worry/anxiety and true fear and using it to your advantage. He gives lots of great examples of cases that he has worked on and gives great tips to follow on determining and analyzing whether a situation one faces is worth fearing and relying on your gut instinct/intuition.
