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. (Social Science)

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?).

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.
