Synopsis

As one of the world's top experts on psychopathy and criminal behavior, Mary Ellen O'Toole has seen repeatedly how relying on the sense of fear alone often fails to protect us from danger. Whether you are opening the door to a stranger or meeting a date you connected with online, you need to know how to protect yourself from harm-physical, financial, legal, and professional.

Using the SMART method, which O'Toole developed and used at the FBI, we can confidently know how to:

● Respond to a threat in any situation

● Hire someone who will work inside your home like a contractor or housekeeper

● Figure out whether a prospective employee is a safe bet

● Know whom you can trust with your children

An especially useful book for women living alone, parents who are concerned about their children's safety, and employers worried about employees who might go postal, Dangerous Instincts gives us the tools used by professionals to navigate potentially hazardous waters. Like The Gift of Fear and The Sociopath Next Door, it will appeal to anyone looking to make the right call in an ever threatening world.

Goodreads review by Heather

This book has useful information about personal safety and the red flags of pyschopaths. However, it needs drastic editing. Drastic scalpel-like editing.

Goodreads review by Jess

I’m a pretty paranoid person. If you’ve visited my home, you better believed I’ve checked to see if you’ve committed a crime of some kind. If you’re a paranoid person like me, you may find yourself laughing and/or confused about her writings declaring that parents let their children sleep over at st......more
