The Gift of Fear Top 100 Self Help authors. The Gift of Fear was selected for the book, 50 Psychology Classics. By finding patterns in stories of violence and abuse, de Becker seeks to highlight the inherent predictability of violence.

By noticing PINS (events and behaviors that often precede violence), individuals can better predict violence before it occurs, and therefore, take the necessary precautions and actions to stay safe. "The Gift of Fear" also describes de Becker’s MOSAIC Threat Assessment
Irrational number then no integral power of it can be an integer, as in lowest terms there must be a prime in the denominator that does not divide into the numerator whatever power each is raised to. Therefore, if an integer is not an exact "k" power of another integer, then that first integer's "k" root is irrational. Perhaps the numbers most easy to prove irrational are certain logarithms. Here is a proof by contradiction that log 3 is irrational. Notice that log 3 ≈ 1.58 > 0. Assume log 3 is rational. For some positive integers "m" and "n", we have
