Deep Survival…Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why?

I am in the middle of a FANTASTIC book about the human spirit and psychology. It’s called Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why and the title doesn’t even do it justice.
It is one of those books that, as my brother Asher says, “makes you think about how you think” and it will really push you.
What I love about it is that the examples it gives (while focused on man vs. nature) apply very much to how we deal with extreme challenges in any part of our lives…job change, marriage, globalization, and more.
If you can become more aware of the way you think, you might be able to help adapt and thrive to new situations as they arise and avoid being blind to them because of previous paradigms.
Certainly the US Congress and American taxpayer could use this.
I highly recommend it. (Note: it is NOT a light read and will require some effort…but, like survival, it’s worth it.)
