Wow...what a book. Every person should read this in order to keep ourselves safe! It has definately opened my eyes to how people behave and react to fear. It covers the pyschology of humans and how we have this gift of 'fear' but quite often talk ourselves out of feeling it. It also explains that we are the only speices on earth that goes against our intuition as we don't want to affend people; which alternatively may put us in an unsafe situation with others that wish to cause harm...what more can I say but read it!!!!
Very interesting. Brings attention to specific behaviours to indicate people you should steer clear of. Should be recommended reading for teenagers who about to move in with others and I will definately get my daughter to read it before she gets to dating age, as indicators that things will not be right for the future of a relationship are there from the beginning with first interactions.
