Surviving Survival: The Art and Science of Resilience by Laurence Gonzales (Engl

Description: Surviving Survival by Laurence Gonzales You have survived the crisis—trauma, disease, accident, or war—now how do you get your life back? FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The shark attacked while she was snorkeling, tearing through Micki Glenns breast and shredding her right arm. Her husband, a surgeon, saved her life on the spot, but when she was safely home she couldnt just go on with her life. She had entered an even more profound survival journey: the aftermath. The survival experience changes everything because it invalidates all your previous adaptations, and the old rules dont apply. In some cases survivors suffer more in the aftermath than they did during the actual crisis. In all cases, they have to work hard to reinvent themselves. Drawing on gripping cases across a wide range of life-threatening experiences, Laurence Gonzales fashions a compelling argument about fear, courage, and the adaptability of the human spirit. Micki Glenn was later moved to say: "I dont regret that this happened to me. [It] has been . . . probably the single most positive experience Ive ever had." Author Biography Laurence Gonzales is the author of Surviving Survival and the bestseller Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why. He has won two National Magazine Awards and is a fellow of the Santa Fe Institute. His essays are collected in the book House of Pain. He lives in Evanston, Illinois.
