In “The Gift of Fear”, De Becker offers in-depth solutions to people who go through domestic violence or other forms of harassment at the workplace. He moves the reader from being victims of violence within families by providing real solutions to issues related to fear and personal violence. He gives a description of a young woman by the name Kelly who was sexually harassed by a stranger who was helping her with her groceries. He states that the thing that pulled Kelly from denial and forced her to take action was the overwhelming fear or intuition that she would die. Becker, therefore, gives the advice that people should always trust their instincts.

In life, it is under stable that men and women have different fears in that men are in that women will laugh at them.

However, Kelly acts against her intuitions and walks to her house with a rapist. The scenario is a clear indicator that before an occurrence of violence, there is always a signal that something bad might happen.

In many parts of the world, men are always more violent than women due to different settings of socialization.
