The Gift of Fear

[thefinerthingsinlife]

Just wanted to say thank you to who ever reconmended it on here.

A fantastic book, i've leanrt lots from it.

would reconmend it to every women as a must read

Or "Protecting the gift" by same author (Gavin de Becker). Great stuff.

can we have a link to it on amazon?

link here

I've just read all the Amazon reviews and am concerned this could lead to yet more victim-blaming (should have seen the signs, etc.) Is this a worry, do you think, or have I got the wrong end of the stick?

Caveats: Haven't read it - I will, thank you - and have saved myself from some potentially fatal attacks by following good self-defence strategies, which most people don't learn.

Definately the wrong end of the stick, but I can completely see where you are coming from, it does sound a little like that.

I personally have found it very impowering, but that's just me

Empowerment is always good :) Cheers!
