Publisher Description

Gavin de Becker, author of the best-seller The Gift of Fear, is America's foremost authority on managing violent behavior. In this time of great anxiety and uncertainty, his guidance is needed more than ever. De Becker addresses the concerns many have asked since the terrifying events of September 11, 2001. Is air travel safe? Are we at risk of chemical or biological weapons attacks? Can further acts be prevented by our government and military? How should parents discuss these concerns with their children? These and other vital questions are answered with the expertise only de Becker can bring to the table. A reassuring, empowering guide, Fear Less offers specific recommendations for improving the security of our nation--and ourselves. Narrator Tom Stechschulte lends his comforting voice to this crucial book.

"I heard an interview with the Author on The Late Late Show and I thought he was so interesting that I checked out the book. It was very interesting to learn a little bit about what Fear actually is. He also wrote The Gift of Fear, which I haven't read yet but have heard was very good."

    " Gavin de Becker's three books THE GIFT OF FEAR, PROTECTING THE GIFT, AND FEARLESS, are all so great. It teaches us to trust our instinct. He is an amazing man. "

    " Great follow-up to "The Gift of Fear" and though I don't feel that I learned anything new, it's good to feel validated. I think this is a well-written book for his target audience, and I wish someone the 24-hour news cycle business would consider championing his point of view. "

    " This book, written by security expert, sets the record straight on trusting your instincts and what people really need to fear (and what they don't). This is a book I have recommended to every friend I have. "

    " Excellent Book! I would highly recommend this to anyone. As with his other books, he focuses on the strength of intuition and how to be practical. "

    " The Gift of Fear is the go-to book for De Becker, but if you've already read it, or you still need a post 911 grounding session, this book is for you. "

    " I found some things interesting in this book. Bottom line, the author details how we worry too much about things that have a miniscule probability of happening. I would add that the perfect love of the Lord Jesus Christ cast out all fear. "

    " Covers some of the same ground as The Gift of Fear, but in less detail. The focus is on terrorism and dealing constructively with fear on a national level, more than personal safety. If you've read The Gift of Fear, this one is almost unnecessary. "

    " Although most of my fears don't involve terrorists, this book did address many of my anxieties and my relationship with fear in a very helpful way. "
