Review

"The true-life stories are satisfying in a popcorny kind of way, but it's the science that fascinates..."

"The book is a useful, insightful exploration of the nature of survival, the resilience of the human mind and body, and the ways in which we can all use our natural gifts to maximize our chances of coming through catastrophic situations."

Publisher's note

Draws on inspirational stories about survivors of accidents, crime, and serious illness to investigate why some people succumb to life-threatening hardships while others rally, in a report that includes coverage of the higher survival rates of right-handed people, the science of luck, and emergency room probability rates. Simultaneous.

Annotation

Ben Sherwood traveled around the world interviewing people who survived near-death experiences, from a woman who was stabbed in the heart with a sewing needle to a man who somehow escaped the collapsing World Trade Center on 9/11. In addition to documenting their extraordinary stories, Sherwood attempts to identify common physical or psychological factors that may have helped them to survive. The result is an oddly compelling mixture of theology (Can prayer help during a tragedy?), theory (Is there such a thing as a survivor gene?), and therapy (How do I survive a mountain lion attack?).

From a "New York Times"-bestselling author and award-winning journalist comes a fascinating exploration of survival that can help prepare anyone for life's inevitable struggles, from cancer and crime to car accidents and airplane crashes.
