“The things in life that make you feel fear are your social mores clashing with new information being received from your environment.”
– Kelly Sayre, Sharp Women
Sharp Women is a guide for learning to use your intuition to live safely and without fear. Sayre points out that self-defense is mainly taught from the physical point of view, ignoring an important aspect.
She says, “Your intuition signals are your basic survival instincts trying to communicate with you.”
This book is filled with a wealth of information, including how to rethink societal norms, use situational awareness, and ensure vehicle and travel safety. Sayre gives several real-life examples and breaks down how they could have been avoided. There’s even a chapter on how and when to teach these lessons to children.
I found Sharp Women to be engaging and informative. I appreciated the female perspective, as most self-defense books are written by men. The content is easy to digest and gives actionable steps to implement immediately. As someone who’s read several of these types of books, I found myself learning new things as well as nodding my head in agreement.
Key Takeaways:
Women have incredible intuition skills.
We’re not taught to use our intuition for personal safety.
Intuition is the best self-defense tool and can help you avoid harm.
Small daily habits can increase your situational awareness and safety.
