Book Reviews of Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why
Book Review: risk
Summary: 5 Stars
Obviously I enjoyed deep survival; I bought copies for my son,a rock climber, and my son in law, a blue water sailor with my daughter and grandson aboard. More importantly one can generalise the concepts in the text to all things in life. The more we learn about neural function, the more we understand that intuition or "feelings" may guide us better in tough situations. Prepare, study but listen to the inner voice for a better chance of survival. Book Review: Science meets travel adventure

Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book. It is easy to read and full of research-based information. It makes you think more carefully about consequences. I've used the information in this book often and will return to it again. Book Review: The Humble Confrontationalist: Surving decisively once trumps avoiding anything a life time.
Summary: 5 Stars
Sebastion Junger strikes it on the books front cover -I too tore through this in a perfect storm. What must be stressed here however is that, this is deep journalism -not sensationalism. Gonzales deftly avoids exploitation, trampling a rightfully compelling subject. Packed specifically with personal and professional experience, as well as academic and field researched insight, he trains a master narrators light on the uniquely human moment of critical decision, and superior action in the face of adversity on the path of human life. The book, at it's heart, celebrates Gonzales' Survival Archetype, his father, bringing to mind the survival archetypes we all have, and can call upon in our time of deep decision. Deep Survival generously shares the written bread crumbs of it's
conclusions, and is it's self a literary trail head for personally researching literaly any deep adventure.
