From the Publisher
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.
