The
Gift of Fear is a really cool book that provides you with realistic tips
and strategies to improve your own safety, which generally revolve around using
your intuition and responding to the cues that your body sends you. Basically,
live your life as you normally would and take precautions, but when you feel a
pang of fear, don’t ignore it or repress it. It is usually very valuable and
may save your life. He debunks a lot of myths and while many strategies are
common sense, some are surprising. The most valuable thing he writes, I think,
is that “trusting intuition is the exact opposite of living in fear.” Fear is a
survival signal, not a state of mind. If you are constantly anxious, then you
have so much “noise” going on in your head that you may not ever recognize the
alarm bells of fear.
