It is a great book and a interesting read. It's not so much about
profiling dangerous individuals as it is about how to listen to your
intuition without becoming hypervigilant.

I HIGHLY recommend the book "The Gift of Fear." We had a technical
writer
who was fired at my current company who was very scary. He talked about
all
of his guns somewhat regularly. He had mentioned that he was making 2x
as a
technical writer with us than as a UPS delivery guy (his preceding job).
So
I bought that book and read the chapter on coworkers and firings, and
found
out that this guy had exhibited other behavior that indicated he was a
risk
for workplace violence... things I never would have suspected might be
an
indicator, such as watching when other people clock in/clock out.
Fortunately, he moved on to another job (as a bailiff at the courthouse)
that was much more up his alley, and nothing came of my concern, but
it's
better to be too-vigilant than not vigilant enough.
