Gavin de Becker for The Gift of Fear, which encouraged me to pay attention to my instincts and fear response; my work, for exposing me to way too many creeps; my love for true crime, for making me paranoid.

I already have an abiding love for true crime, and once I got a couple of pages through the first chapter of The Gift of Fear I'm hooked. Thank you for putting your experience down here - you are the reason I'm reading this amazing book.

And 'go you' for rising to the occasion this day. :) xx
