From the Publisher:

Which is the safest seat on an airplane? Where is the best place to have a heart attack? Why does religious observance add years to your life? How can birthdays be hazardous to your health?

THE SURVIVORS CLUB

Each second of the day, someone in America faces a crisis, whether it’s a car accident, violent crime, serious illness, or financial trouble. Given the inevitability of adversity, we all wonder: Who beats the odds and who surrenders? Why do some people bound back and others give up? How can I become the kind of person who survives and thrives?

The fascinating, hopeful answers to these questions are found in THE SURVIVORS CLUB. In the tradition of Freakonomics and The Tipping Point, this book reveals the hidden side of survival by combining astonishing true stories, gripping scientific research, and the author’s adventures inside the U.S. military’s elite survival schools and the government’s airplane crash evacuation course.

With THE SURVIVORS CLUB, you can also discover your own Survivor IQ through a powerful Internet-based test called the Survivor Profiler. Developed exclusively for this book, the test analyzes your personality and generates a customized report on your top survivor strengths.

There is no escaping life’s inevitable struggles. But THE SURVIVORS CLUB can give you an edge when adversity strikes.

About the Author:

A graduate of Harvard College and a Rhodes Scholar, Sherwood earned masters degrees in history and development economics at Oxford University. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife Karen Kehela Sherwood and their son Will.

My Review & The Giveaway:

 Fascinating read.  
Filled with really interesting true life stories…
a few photo’s,  LOTS of  interesting facts.  
Did you know that the average life expectancy 
in Andorra (a very small country in southwestern Europe) is 83.53 years, 
but that in Lesotho (a landlocked country entirely surrounded
by the Republic of South Africa) it’s only 40.17?

How about that the safest place to be on a plane
is 5 rows or less from an exit?

Cougars take down their pray with a body slam?

kinds of cool stuff!

  • I had a close call with death when I was pregnant. One night we were driving down a country highway in the winter. We were going 100km/hr. Suddenly the car did a 360 degree turn. We had hit black ice. Everyone in the car was shaking after that. We were just lucky that no one had been in the other lane. Count me in. polo-puppy-fluffy(at)hotmail(dot)com

    I've had a few close calls. The worst was when I was pregnant with my son and the nurse accidentally overdosed me on dilauded. It was a bad time.

  • An enormous pole fell in front of our car. It was heavy enough that if we'd just been a bit closer it could have smashed right through both occupied front seats.
