The book will - list the most important traits necessary for survival; 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.
