Product Description
Review
"...[a] lively attempt to isolate the common factors that cause some people to survive and others to die." Independent on Sunday "Buy it so you know what to do if you happen to fall off a mountain." Anthony Sattin, The Sunday Times"
Product Description
In his new book, the author of "Deep Survival" (ISBN 9780393326154) - 'the best book on management, leadership and employment I have read this year' ("Financial Times") - shows how modern society has made us lazy and susceptible to previously unknown threats.Laurence Gonzales turns his talent for gripping narrative, his knowledge of the way our minds and bodies work, and his curiosity about the world to the topic of how we can best use the lessons of our evolutionary history to overcome the hazards of everyday life. He finds that natural laws profoundly affect our actions, and he reveals the hidden causes and costs of our behaviour, either as individuals or as a species. Whether climbing a mountain or the corporate ladder, "Everyday Survival" will change the way the reader views their choices in our complex, dangerous and quickly changing world.
