5.0 out of 5 stars Very interesting, 10 Mar 2009

Rafal Gruszczynski (Warsaw Poland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies and Why (Paperback)

If you are looking for tips, tricks and techniques of survival - look elsewhere. You will not find anything for you here.

But...as surviving is about the mental state more than tools and techniques...here is where you are going to find the lot.

When I started reading it - I was just thinking "ok - so now where are these tricks I have to learn". Just stories and brain functions. But soon I started realizing that we are discussing the core of survival -any survival - the way we process information under stress, what kills us or saves us in a survival situation from within us.

This book is worth much more than any other that is going to tell you how to build a shelter or light up fire. This one tells you what your brain does in an extreme situation and what mental strategies work in your favor.

My interest grew in this book with every page. And many things (behaviors) from my life also became understood. A very interesting trip into myself I have made while reading this book.

This a book for all those who want to be prepared as well for all those who are interested in how the human brain works or in psychology in general. A lot of case studies (stories), a lot of very useful information. And all told in a very easy to read way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring & Insightful, 7 May 2010

Y. Crowther (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies and Why (Paperback)

I picked up this book while browsing and, just flicking through a few pages, was gripped. It combines real life stories of survival with intelligent analysis of human behaviour and insights from neuroscience, philosophy and psychology. It seeks to understand and illustrate what motivates the minds and bodies of individuals to persevere against extraordinary odds and, in doing so, provides insights into what makes for a fully lived life. It's a practical book, packed with facts, quotations and references. It's also extremely inspiring and moving. I'll certainly be reading it again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gripping and Informative, 27 Nov 2011

Scallywag - See all my reviews

This review is from: Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies and Why (Paperback)

Macho, pacey and thoroughly researched. Loved the style and appreciated the solid neuroscience. Useful for any of life's emergencies, not just falling off Everest!

Some good stories, and an interesting, but slightly incoherent argument. It would have made an interesting research paper, but not a whole novel.
