Helpful Score: 2

The book takes into account scientific research and true life stories of those who've escaped death narrowly to determine what, exactly, makes people resilient to adversity and how to learn from them. On the website associated with the book, you'll find a quiz that will give you your personal Survivor Type and you'll learn what strengths you have and how to use them in a disaster. The author lists several traits common to survivors: adaptability, resilience, faith, hope, purpose, tenacity, love, empathy, intelligence, ingenuity, flow, and instinct. All these traits aid a person in overcoming personal or professional problems. The key is applied knowledge: knowing the best seat on an airplane is one thing, sitting in it is another. Highly recommended.
