Publisher’s Summary

We are a nation battered every day by stories about horrific calamities, tragic events, frightening statistics. Inevitably, our thoughts turn personal and we wonder if we have what it takes to get through when the worst is thrown our way.

While there are plenty of books about coping with adversity, it isn’t until now, with The Survivors Club, that we discover the human factors that determine survival. It’s a combination instruction manual and security blanket that blends compelling true stories with cutting-edge science to deliver some of the most important lessons we’ll ever need to learn.

This audiobook will:

•List the most important traits necessary for survival (fear is #1)
•Identify the five types of survivors
•Debunk myths (like only the strong survive), explore the frontiers of survival science (How much strain and punishment can a human body endure?), and introduce listeners to counterintuitive thinking (Ever heard of posttraumatic growth?).
•Provide a Survivors Tool Kit, including an online test (at http://www.thesurvivorsclub.org/) that measures one’s Survivor’s Quotient

Each one of us eventually joins the club of millions who face life’s inescapable tribulations and tragedies. The Survivors Club is the companion we need to prepare us for and guide us through the worst.
“a how to guide to survival when bad things happen”

Ben Sherwood does a solid job of homing in on what qualities and characteristics most everyone can muster to maximize their chances of survival when bad things happen. Through a range of examples and interviews with experts, he tells us not only what we need to do, but what we should ignore while working hard to stay alive. Narration is first rate.
“Will Change Your Approach to Risk”

Terrific book. Sherwood sets out to understand who survives and who dies in trauma, and why. He makes the point that sooner or later most of us will face a test, often a life threatening test, and who enters the survivors club is not random. Certainly people have skills, instincts, and resources that allow them to survive (and even thrive) where others are killed or destroyed.

I had no idea that most plane crashes are survivable, but only survivable if you know what you are doing and have a plan. Same goes for car accidents, fires, violent attacks and those other events that could kill us. Sherwood is a journalist with a varied resume (former TV news producer, magazine writer), and he brings all his reporting skills to the question of who survives. The interviews with people who survived horrible accidents are gripping. My favorite is the pilot who survived ejecting from his airplane at faster then Mach 1! Highly recommended.
“Information Packed Safety Guide”

Any additional comments?

The stories of survival and how to survive in all sorts of situations were engaging and powerful. Thanks to this book I view choices I make very differently. I approach how I pick my seats on an air plane in a very new light. I travel awake and alert. I am aware of silly errors that can cause terrible outcomes. An eyeopener that sticks with you. Highly recommended reading.
