Fear Less: Real Truth About Risk, Safety, and Security in a Time of Terrorism by Gavin de Becker offers a clear, practical look at understanding genuine danger versus imagined fear. Published by Little, Brown and Company in 2002, this first edition hardcover examines how people interpret threats, how risk is often misrepresented, and how individuals can make informed decisions about personal and public safety.
Drawing on decades of experience in security assessment, de Becker explains the psychological patterns behind fear, the ways media shapes perception, and how readers can differentiate realistic caution from unnecessary alarm. The book emphasizes empowerment through knowledge, offering straightforward strategies for recognizing warning signs, evaluating risk, and maintaining perspective during times of national anxiety.
Ideal for readers interested in security studies, psychology, or real-world risk management, this volume provides tools for navigating uncertainty with clarity and confidence. A valuable addition for those studying human behavior, personal protection, or contemporary social issues.
