“No risk, no reward. No risk, no life.”
- Laurence Gonzales, author of Deep Survival
Laurence Gonzales has been studying accidents and their roots in human behavior for more than thirty-five years. Deep Survival is the culmination of that research.
From the publisher: “In Deep Survival, Laurence Gonzales combines hard science and powerful storytelling to illuminate the mysteries of survival, whether in wilderness or in meeting any of life’s great challenges. This gripping narrative, the first book to describe the art and science of survival, will change the way you see the world. Everyone has a mountain to climb. Everyone has a wilderness inside.”
From Nate Jordon: “Deep Survival is not just a series of flesh-eating tales of survival, it is a deep investigation into what it takes to survive in life-threatening situations. Gonzales deftly combines factors of psychology, emotionality, spirituality, and physicality as the premier forces that determine who lives, who dies, and why.”
