Book Review - The Survivors Club by Ben Sherwood

Wednesday, June 9, 2010

We all want to be in the Survivors Club. Ben Sherwood decided to find out what the people in The Club have in common, what sets those people apart and keeps them alive. The Survivors Club: The Secrets and Science that Could Save Your Life aims to show us the little things (and sometimes big things) that determines who beats the odds and who surrenders when facing a crisis.

Through sharing stories from survivors with a bit of science worked in to back them up Sherwood gives us tips on how to prolong our own lives in general and especially how to keep our heads on straight during different kinds of trying situations. We find our true selves when faced with a crisis. This book is a collection people each facing their true selves. We have the opportunity to benefit from the qualities each of these people had that got them through their worst moments. The question is do we actually have the ability to teach ourselves these qualities? The qualities that these other people seemed to already poses when they faced their crisis.

Read this book, learn if you have what it takes or if you can cultivate what it takes inside you.
