2.0 out of 5 stars Not very well focused, 27 Jan 2009

By	Iceberg (Qatar) - See all my reviews

I picked up this book hoping to read about a concise theory or view of survival. Instead I got a collection of various stories, often written as a novel and so wide in view (the story of Xerox, the story of a hike in Mexico, etc) that it was very hard to find a connection between them. Even though the first few chapters were good, I find myself thinking that the author mixed up survival, success, profit making, etc in an effort to state numerous different facts. I have read many other excellent books on the subject and I find this one a fairly poor choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Be cool., 14 Oct 2008

By	Patrick Mullane (Cork, Ireland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm not an outdoor type. As an archetypical geek my worries are more about the server failing than a hungry grizzly bear wandering by (a HR type however ... ). I do recommend this book because it offers some cogent life lessons that have been hard learnt by people who earned their right to survive where others failed.

Be cool. This sums up the core message of the book. However this is not something that can be so easily summed up as a catch phrase, but as an attitude that needs be experienced and made be part of a person's core programming; in a religious spiritual terms to find of grace when disaster strikes, be it lost in the high mountains or facing a sudden process audit.

5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME! , 15 Aug 2008

By	PureSymmetry (london) - See all my reviews

This book is an amazing compilation of survivor stories and lessons learned. I enjoyed this book immensely and found that the learnings presented within its pages have wide applications to many different scenarios in life, from forex trading to surviving life threatening illnesses.

Very well written, Gonzales writes in an engaging and lively style, delivering stunning heart stopping real life drama.

Get this book, you're gonna love it.
