isn't until now, with WHO SURVIVES, that we discover the
human factors that determine survival. It's a combination

(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 endure?), and introduce readers
to counterintuitive thinking (Ever heard of posttraumatic
growth?)

that measures one's Survivor's Quotient Each one of us eventually joins the club of millions who
face life's inescapable tribulations and tragedies. WHO
