This author interviews them all and explores the reasons why some survived and why others perished. I know what kind of people to surround myself with, and which ones to discard. Need another excuse to treat yourself to a new book this week? I have been drawn to stories of survival and have read a few books about people who have survived harrowing experiences (One of my favorites being "Dead Lucky" by Lincoln Hall).I really liked the first few chapters. Case in point: It talks about several plane crashes, what happened to the people who did and did not survive, and plane crash safety training describing the things that cause someone to be more or less likely to survive a plane crash. Seriously, do you rate it based on content alone or do you rate it based on the synopsis? This title consists of matter-of-fact essays that tell the amazing stories of ordinary people who have defied the odds and survived unbelievable accidents. Was really on the verge of 5 stars for this one, but the initial thrill at the beginning had somewhat dimmed by the end of the book. That being said, the second half of the book felt worthless since the website with the test is no longer available. He investigates various themes that relate to survival, including how religion plays into survival, how your personality affects your chances, along with multiple interviews with medical professionals.What an interesting read. We provide a stable environment for recovery programs to meet by enhancing their recovery and their daily lives. The author was very thorough in the topic and shared many survival stories. Inaction can be action and embracing this paradox can save your life.”“Sam writes in her funny, fascinating memoir, Not By Accident.” Pure knowledge only gives you the possibility of action but it's incomplete until it's put to some real use.

Don't lose your head. I loved hearing from the military guy who ejected from a plane and floated in the sea before being rescued, as well as the ordinary guy who fell off a cruise ship and swam around for over 24 hours before flagging down a fishing boat. Regarding my last update, the author did say that this book attempted to answer the questions why others were survivors or not. With THE SURVIVORS CLUB, you can also discover your own Survivor IQ through a powerful Internet-based test called the Survivor Profiler. The author interviews many survivors of various accidents. There are lots of descriptions of horrible scenarios, but luckily it usually points out why you shouldn’t worry too much about it (though it still tells you how to be better prepared).

May save your life!

Interviews with plane crash survivors, a young man who lived after jumping off the Golden Gate bridge, a woman attacked by a mountain lion, another who punctured her heart Though reading this book gave me the same sort of dirty, guilty feeling that I get if caught gawking at a car accident, I have to admit, most of it was pretty fascinating.
He goes through survival training with the military, tries drown proofing, etc. The Survivor’s Club, located at 1321 Airline Dr. in Bossier City, LA, is a non-profit organization that provides a safe drug and alcohol free environment for our community. Which is something I've struggled with my whole life.

Nothing nearly as bad as the subjects in the book but any time a doctor looks you in the face and says you should be dead it rather scrambles your though processes.This was interesting: stories about people who survived plane wrecks and knitting needles stuck in the heart.

Not today.This was a very interesting book. Not a solution as to why, just how their tragic story developed.Read this ages ago. If I kept it, I want to do a re-read.3 for expectations unmet, 3 for mixed up stories and 4 for overall interest. Welcome back. The middle-end of the book which focused on the belief in God in the likelihood of survival was a bit repetitious, but the early chapters and the end chapters really grabbed me This was a solid 'survival psychology' book. This is not a book I would have picked up on my own, had it not been a selection of my book club. Every anecdote was foreshadowed with an introduction which felt like a sales pitch after a while and meant the stories didn't deliver. That bumped this book from 4 stars to 3 for me.
