Description:

High-priced security consultant Gavin De Becker advises movie stars and government agencies on "the prediction and management of violence." Here he provides his own experience-derived guide to the telltale signs of serious threat. Arguing that our own intuitive power to sense danger is diminished by the human propensity for denial, De Becker`s purpose is twofold: to alert his neighbors to the existence of real dangers, and to equip them with useful guidelines for recognizing and managing potentially violent situations.

I enjoyed the first third and last third of this book. The Authur did not expand enough on true cases where people have sensed danger. Too much technical stuff in the middle of this book.
