Excellent information., 2008-10-03
I am a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner in Texas. I fully agree with Gavin De
Becker than prevention of violence is key. Like the author, as I am inter-
viewing and examining a sexual assault survivor, so often they say "He made me very uncomfortable", or "I didn't want to hurt his feelings", or " I had a bad feeling...". I think this CD should be a gift to all young women, and men, before they begin to date. There are times that the language may be somewhat advanced for anyone younger than 16 or 17 yrs old, so I suggest the cd be listened to with a parent or a group with adult leadership (drill teams, cheerleaders, chess club, girl scouts, etc) so as to open discussion and help with understanding and trusting one's own instincts. Excellent information, and the cd is full of interesting and eye opening stories that hold your interest and will provoke many stories from its listeners pertaining to their own personal experiences where they denied their "fear instinct" and could have been, or may have been in danger.

Invaluable for women, 2008-08-31
This book is wonderful help for women, in particular, to assess and respond to potentially dangerous situations. I am sure it would benefit men, as well, to read the book, but it especially struck home to me, as a woman. I will give it to my daughters.

A must-read for all, 2008-08-19
Women and men alike should read this book. Gavin de Becker gives names and numbers to the alarm bells women too often ignore, and helps lay out some of the differences between the sexes' experiences of their surroundings. When I first encountered this book, as an excerpt in a magazine, I photocopied it for my coworkers to read. Only two people voiced negative reactions to it. One was my then-boyfriend, who turned out to be an obsessive, overbearing manipulater fueled by insecurity. The other one - believe it or not - wound up stalking me for months.
I got him to stop by following Mr. de Becker's advice.

A BOOK FOR EVERY WOMAN TO READ, 2008-06-10
I FIRS SAW THE AUTHOR ON OPRAH'S SHOW. I THEN CHECKED THE BOOK OUT AT THE LIBRARY. AFTER JUST READING A FEW PAGES I KNEW I WANTED IT FOR MYSELF. I ORDERED IT AND GOT THE CD'S, BUT I STILL WANT THE BOOK. I ALSO ORDERED "PROTECTING THE GIFT" KEEPING CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS SAFE (AND PARENTS SANE) BY THE SAME AUTHOR. IT STATES ON THE COVER, 1.SAFETY SKILLS FOR CHILDREN OUTSIDE THE HOME 2. WARNING SIGNS OF SEXUAL ABUSE 3. HOW TO SCREEN BABY-SITTERSAND CHOOSE SCHOOLS 4. STRATEGIES FOR KEEPING TEENAGERS FROM VIOLENCE. CAN'T WAIT TO FINISH READING IT.

Good Book, 2008-05-08
I think this book had a lot of insight into remembering how to use our instincts. The author does talk about himself a lot and that part gets pretty boring. I found that basically the second CD is all you need and CDs 1 and 3 are basically just fluff. But besides that, i really did enjoy CD 2 and i am glad i purchased it.
