The gift of fear : survival signals that protect us from violence

De Becker, Gavin (Author).

Summary: " ... De Becker shows that you can already predict violent behavior. Through dozens of compelling stories from his own career, he lays out the pieces of the human violence puzzle and shows how you can solve it by paying attention to the subtle--and sometimes blatant--signals of intuition. As he says, 'You can refuse to be a victim.'"--Dust jacket. " ... speaks directly to targets and potential targets in a way that makes them stronger without blaming them."--Inside of front cover.
