    Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Deep Survival
    I read this book (age 57) when my daughter(age 20) was training to climb Aconcagua and I was petrified. She is a good athlete but had never climbed mountains. A friend recommended it to me. As much as I love the rest of the book, what was most poignant to me was the part about how survivors have a plan and then are able to take in new data and adjust their plan. It brought me to a peace--she had been a soccer and LAX goalie for many years and she took in new data daily. She ended up not summitting ... Read More



    Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Rollercoaster Ride
    The author presents science and psychology of survival in a way that is way more than science or pysch. Every story of survival (and there are a ton of them) is inspirational and awe inspiring. I love how each story melts into the overall plot, to form a coherent story from the first page to the last.



    Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - a remarkable journey through survival
    I've given copies of Deep Survival to five friends from very diverse backgrounds. Each one has thanked me. The book isn't a linear, Cartesian analysis about how a person enters a zone of great risk at point A and, after following a prescription of do's and don'ts, exits alive or dead at point Z. The author knows it isn't that simple. Each story becomes its own survival sermon, a grim eulogy for those who die and a paean to grace and luck for those who live. Each time I revisit Deep Survival, I find something ... Read More



    Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - A Boys quest for Daddy's approval
    I thought I was going to like this book. I didn't. I ended up annoyed that I wasted my time reading a self indulgent homage to the Authors Father with things like "The Rules of Life" (written by his 6 year old daughter) presented as things I should take seriously.
    Before purchasing this book try to imagine how this passage is pertinent to the subject of survival:
    ... my father climbed out and said "you're a really good pilot" ... It was one of the most important moments in my life.
    Worse, since ... Read More



    Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An ABSOLUTE MUST READ for tackling adversity
    This book is mandatory reading for anyone faced with extreme adversity. It very effectively sets forth a layperson's blueprint for the survivor mentality - affording you a no-risk peek into the edges of survival without having to float at sea for seventy-one days to understand what is "normal" under those circumstances. "Deep Survival" is a brilliant look into understanding your mind and learning how to adapt: finding sanity and survival in situations where "herd" thinking would lead you to believe you are afforded ...
