Re: The gift of fear

Sounds like someone read it and it freaked them out. Or you live in a safe area and don't realise that there are many places in developed countries that are unsafe but - shock, horror - people live or work in or commute through despite this.

Like other anons have said,

1. The situational awareness advice is really good for any one - not just "spoilt white girls".

2. As is the advice about predatory people who use a 'yes ladder' to work out how far they can push you - it's okay to say 'no', and this book gives one reason why it's important to.

3. Did you miss the entire chapter on how to deal with unstable people in the workplace? That shit is really good advice for anyone who is any supervisory position or in charge of recruitment.

Just because something is statistically unlikely doesn't meant that you shouldn't understand what you can do to be safe if such an eventuality occurs - unless you're advocating that planes shouldn't have safety presentations because place crashes are so improbable.

You know, I'm betting the OP didn't actually read the book. They probably just saw it on tumblr, had a knee jerk reaction and decided it was dumb. Which is a stupid thing to do, but there you have it.
