Product Description
There are plenty of books about coping with misfortune. But isn’t until now, with WHO SURVIVES, that we learn the human factors that determine survival. It’s a combination instruction book and security blanket that blends compelling right tales with cutting-edge science to deliver some of the most vital lessons we’ll ever need to learn.
The book will:
–list the most vital traits necessary for survival (e.g., adaptability, tenacity, faith)
–identify the 5 types of survivors
–debunk myths (like only the strong survive), explore the frontiers of survival science (How much strain and punishment can a human body suffer?), and introduce readers to counterintuitive thinking (Ever heard of posttraumatic growth?)
–provide a Survivors Tool Kit, including an online test that measures one’s Survivor’s Percentage
Each one of us eventually joins the club of millions who face life’s inescapable tribulations and tragedies. WHO SURVIVES is the companion we need to prepare us for and guide us through the worst.

Fox News’ talking head Glenn Beck raved about this book; it grinds some of Beck’s favorite axes. If you’re a Beck fan, by all means order your copy now! If not… DON’T.

So I spend hours reading this book, waiting for the end to take this test they keep talking about. Except, since I got the book from the library, the “special code” needed to take the online test won’t work, as it is single-use only. Their website says that they are “effective on” a solution for library readers, but they’re evidently too dumb to reflect of it.

My first clue that this recommended book might not be all I hoped was its listing on Amazon that showed its readership also buying Glenn Beck’s book and The 5000 Year Leap. That, plus some of the more scientific reviews, make me question this book’s grounding in reality.

This book is pretty much what you would expect from a journalist who thought up an appealing topic, did a quick cursory review of a few studies, and wrote it up as if his resulting speculations had any significance. To take just one example, consider his analysis of whether prayer has any effect. He cites one tiny, poorly designed study that says it does, then cites a huge, well-designed study that says it does not, and throws up his hands and says the studies disagree, so who knows? I suppose one could attribute his total lack of understanding regarding how to evaluate research to the fact that he is simply a writer with no background or training in statistics, research, or science. After his cursory, brief, and really inadequate look at the facts, he spends pages describing the beliefs of people who “don’t need science, because they just know prayer works” (p. 150). He says the faithful don’t require empirical evidence. In additional words, don’t confuse me with the facts. If prayer really worked, why would anyone need medical attention? If these supposed “believers” really judge in the power of prayer, why do they also do all they can to get medical attention? And yet the leader of this book decides to join the know-nothings and pray more. So his advice if you are in a plane crash, etc. is that you should pray. If that’s the best advice the leader can come up with, god help us all.
