Later, a friend in law enforcement suggested this book and I read it in one sitting. Have a coworker who makes you uneasy? Read this book. Trying to get out of a relationship with an unstable person? Read this book. Are you a woman? Read this book.

It's hard to quantify if I'm actually safer after reading this book, but I am far more aware of my intuition now. Much of the time we're afraid to look foolish or rude by listening to that nagging feeling (leaving the overcrowded nightclub, walking away from the stranger who "just wants to help you with your groceries") but your intuition has been honed over hundreds of thousands of years of collective experience. Pay attention to it.]]>
