Item Description...
Product Description
There are plenty of books about coping with adversity. But isn't until now, with WHO SURVIVES, that we discover the human factors that determine survival. It's a combination instruction book and security blanket that blends compelling true stories with cutting-edge science to deliver some of the most important lessons we'll ever need to learn.
The book will:
--list the most important traits necessary for survival (e.g., adaptability, tenacity, faith)
--identify the 5 types of survivors
--debunk myths (like only the strong survive), explore the frontiers of survival science (How much strain and punishment can a human body endure?), and introduce readers to counterintuitive thinking (Ever heard of posttraumatic growth?)
--provide a Survivors Tool Kit, including an online test that measures one's Survivor's Quotient
Each one of us eventually joins the club of millions who face life's inescapable tribulations and tragedies. WHO SURVIVES is the companion we need to prepare us for and guide us through the worst.

 | The Survivor's Club Apr 8, 2009 |
| Excellant book -- really helps in understanding the mindset of some of the victims we've run across in Search and Rescue | | |  | The Survivor's Club Apr 6, 2009 |
| There's something for everyone. Info and ways of thinking that could come in handy. | | | | The Survivors Club review Apr 6, 2009 |
| The book is much more than an account of how to survive trials. I found it extremely spiritual and insightful in explaining "why" some survive and others don't. The book makes one think about being deliberate in our struggle for survival. This includes being a caretaker of a loved one or a disaster of insurmountable odds. | | | | Not for the faint of heart Apr 6, 2009 |
| This is a great book! If you know someone who is always finding the "worst case scenario", this is the perfect gift! However, it is not for the faint of heart - some of the events described are amazingly horrific! But the conclusions he draws from studying how people respond to crises and the unexpected events they faced could be life-changing. The one that sticks with me personally, having lived in NYC, is how many people in London continued to walk down the stairs to the subway even though smoke was pouring up out of the opening! They walked straight to their deaths because they were desensitized by their routines. Amazing! A must read. | | | | The Survivor's Club Apr 6, 2009 |
| Fascinating book on why some live and some die in extreme situations. Author provides in-depth research, interesting anecdotes. Back of book has a survivor's profile quiz, kind of a New Age annoyance found in books everywhere nowadays but rest of book is endlessly interesting. | | | Write your own review about The Survivors Club: The Secrets and Science that Could Save Your Life
