If you’re wondering why it feels like the social decay in our society appears to be metastasizing, it’s because it is. If you’re wondering why that’s happening, @GDBAProtects can tell you. And if you’re wondering what to do to protect yourself in these most unusual days, he can tell you that, too. In fact, he told us 25 years ago, in a terrific book called The Gift of Fear, which just happens to be more relevant today than it was then. You’re gonna love this conversation. Gavin not only wrote the book on personal protection – he opened a school to train the best of the best. He’s guarded some of the most powerful people on the planet, and the wealthiest. He also happens to be pals with RFK. Jr, and gave me some very wise counsel after I was invited to run for vice-president. Yeah, that comes up too. Along with another book that's ruffling lots of feathers, but is nevertheless worth your time - Cause Unknown. A fundamental trust between Big Pharma, our media, and our elected officials has been broken. Cause unknown is not alarming merely because of what it alleges - it's alarming because the research behind the allegations is unassailable. It’s a terrific conversation, and you can listen to the whole thing here - bit.ly/TWIHI389, or on @Apple, and @Spotify, or your favorite podcast app.

Interesting day for me to read this tweet. Just today morning, I was listening to the book summary of "The Gift of Fear" by Gavin de Becker (@GDBAProtects). Fear is a natural human instinct. It'sfoolish to ignore it. At the same time, we should not let it consume us.

Absolute MUST READ for all women! We are taught to be nice and polite and not listen to our gut. Always listen to your gut and if some guy is creeping you out do the following: get out of the elevator, cross the street, run, whatever. He can be insulted while you are alive!

Just listened to an Oprah podcast featuring @GDBAProtects Gavin de Becker and his book 'The Gift of Fear', I strongly advise you to contact Zoe Lodrick, sexual trauma expert, before you start placing unnecessary responsibility and fault on women for 'missing clues' #giftoffear

As the violence epidemic in America escalates, from mass shootings to the dehumanization and abuse of others — I feel the urge to recommend (once again) a book that changed my life, reminded me that my instincts are on point, taught me how to utilize them. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gi…

Finished @GDBAProtects The Gift of Fear 🤯. Never considered how being in “condition yellow” or over vigilant diminishes our natural intuition to identify threats. Can someone please ask John Giduck & Dr. Alexis Artwohl to get these books on #audible 🙏🏽 I can’t drive & read!

I like Amy Poehler's stories about auditions and SNL. It's helpful to learn from someone who earned success through hard work. I was also excited to hear that she loves Gavin de Becker's book, The Gift of Fear. catoverlord.blogspot.com/201…

Thank you. We def will. I was blown away by Gift of Fear. Didn’t expect the compassionate way it was written or how much it supported intuition. An amazing insight into human nature & very healing given my experiences. De Becker is a remarkable human being #grateful – at Durban, South Africa
