I can’t recommend enough the book The Gift of Fear written by Gavin De Becker, a leading expert on violent behavior. He explains that we all have survival instincts that signal us when danger is imminent but most of us ignore or brush it off. Unfortunately, that’s what 17 year old Ross Capicchioni did, even though he was being hammered with signals.
You will be transfixed by this young man’s story of survival.
