I saw him on Oprah a few years ago, on that exact topic. He talked about listening to your gut with examples. A woman who had been taken hostage by an escaped convict told about how she was able to save her kids and then escape. Another woman talked about about having the feeling something wasn't right in her apartment - she installed a camera and found out a guy down the street was entering her place and wearing her clothes.
