The Survivors Club: The Secrets and Science that Could Save Your Life Audiobook

" Fascinating book...a must read. You learn all you need to know to increase your chances of surviving everything from a plane crash to a lion attack to cancer. "

" I have very mixed feelings about this book. The accounts in this book of people who have survived horrible horrible things made me cringe and physically curl up imagining the pain. In this sense I did not like the book. On the other hand, learning about how resilient people can be and hearing how these survivors are carrying on with life (no, actually thriving in life) is very inspiring and makes the book a five star book. So, I rate the book a 3 to average my 1 star and 5 star rating. "
