Excellent Self Defense Advice

[ss355]

The author mentioned that attacks don't come from a vacuum, that there are usually signs that an attack is imminent, and often we (meaning those of us who are civilians) ignore those signs because we think we're overreacting. The book I'm reading, The Gift of Fear, by Gavin De Becker, goes into detail about listening to our intuition to help avoid threats. Haven't finished it, but from what I've read so far I'd say the time I've invested is worthwhile.
