This astonishing book reveals the hidden side of survival by combining true stories, gripping scientific research, and the author's own adventures from U.S. military elite survival schools—perfect for fans of Freakonomics and The Tipping Point.

"A must-read." —The New York Times Book Review

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?

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. You will 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.
