' A thorough and compassionate primer for people concerned about their safety ' Meryl Streep 'The book taps the anxieties of an era ' New York Times --- As seen on TikTok, protect yourself by learning how to trust - and act on - your instincts with the No 1 bestselling guide to personal safety, from security expert Gavin de Becker. A carjacker lurking in a shopping centre car park. An abusive husband pounding on the door. A man taking the seat next to you on an empty carriage. These days, it seems that no one is safe from the spectre of violence. But according to Gavin de Becker, you can feel safer, act safer, be safer - if you learn how to listen to your sixth sense about danger. In this unprecedented guide, Gavin de Becker, the man Oprah Winfrey calls the US's 'leading expert on violent behaviour' , 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 from daily threats, 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. With The Gift of Fear, you can learn to spot the danger signals others miss. It might just save your life. --- ' A how-to book that reads like a thriller . . . provocative . . . empowering ' Boston Globe ' His blend of empathy, reassurance, and common sense wows readers ' Newsweek
