The Survivor's Club Book Review & Giveaway (5 Winners) **CLOSED**

 

About the Book:

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.

 My Review: 

I have always loved reading and hearing true stories and I think the best ones are about people who escape the jaws of death. This book is filled with great stories about people who survived and some of the stories make me think "how the heck did they do it"! Some of the stories are absolutely amazing. The author shows studies of survivors and how people react differently in crisis situations. Throughout the book there are tips and facts about surviving. For example, did you know that the best place to have a heart attack is on the Las Vegas strip in one of the Casino's? You have a better chance surviving the heart attack there than in a hospital! It goes on to explain why, but I'm not going to tell you because you need to read it and find out for your self! 

I really enjoyed this book and I had a hard time putting it down. So, if you enjoy true stories, then this book is for you!

You can purchase The Survivor's Club is at Amazon.com.
