Synopsis
A carjacker lurking in a shopping mall parking lot. 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. De Becker has made a career of protecting people and predicting violent behavior. His firm handles security for many of Hollywood's top celebrities -- Madonna, Michael J. Fox, Geena Davis, Brooke Shields, and John Travolta, among others, according to press reports -- 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 -- and act on -- our own intuitions. For everyone who's ever felt threatened, this book is essential reading., A 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.
