Publisher's Summary
Examining such stories of miraculous endurance and tragic death, Deep Survival takes us from the tops of snowy mountains and the depths of oceans to the workings of the brain that control our behavior. Through close analysis of case studies, Laurence Gonzales describes the essence of a survivor and offers 12 "Rules of Survival".
In the end, he finds, it is what's in your heart, not what's in your pack, that separates the living from the dead. This audiobook will change the way we understand ourselves and the great outdoors.
What the critics say
"The study of survival offers an illuminating portal into the human psyche, and Gonzales, knowledgeable and passionate, is a compelling and trustworthy guide." (Booklist)
"A superb, entertaining addition to a nature buff's library, or for anyone not tucked safely away in a bunker." (Kirkus Reviews)

Incredible
Not the book I thought it was going to be of actually how to survive but what it takes to make it out of the deadly situations. Great stories, awesome narration.

Fascinating!
Good stories and good science behind the brain chemistry involved in survival. Good knowledge to have in the back of one’s mind.

Interesting with insights into survivors mindset
Good and engaging read overall. Got a bit lengthy and repetitive towards the end of the book. Didn't provide much practical tips other than a short summary at the end.

Loved both sides of the story!
I really liked the storytelling side and I liked the psychological side of survival instincts and what it takes to survive

FASCINATING
I flew through this book. I am a typical city girl but I find psychology and the way people think and why, to be fascinating. The stories and questions in this book are so thought provoking. I hope I never find myself in the types of situations described in this book but if I do, I hope my fight, flight or freeze mechanisms engage in the right way, at the right time. Our emotions are crazy and this book explores how they can take the reigns without us fully understanding when, why, or how.

One of the best books I've read
This book is excellent, and everyone I've recommended it to agrees. Applies to one's personal life and career arguably as much as the great outdoors. #Audible1
