After her plane crashes, a seventeen-year-old girl spends eleven days walking through the Peruvian jungle. Against all odds, with no food, shelter, or equipment, she gets out. A better-equipped group of adult survivors of the same crash sits down and dies. What makes the difference?
'Deep Survival' takes us from the tops of snowy mountains and the depths of oceans to the workings of the brain that control our behaviour. Laurence Gonzales explores the science, psychology, and art of survival in examining true stories of miraculous endurance and tragic death. Through close analysis of case studies, Laurence Gonzales describes the essence of a survivor and offers twelve 'Rules of Survival.'
In the end, he finds, it's what's in your heart, not what's in your pack, that separates the living from the dead.
