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? Examining such stories of miraculous endurance and tragic death-how people get into trouble and how they get out again (or not)-Deep Survival takes us from the tops of snowy mountains and the depths of oceans to the workings of the brain that control our behavior. Through close analysis of case studies, Laurence Gonzales describes the "stages of survival" and reveals the essence of a survivor-truths that apply not only to surviving in the wild but also to surviving life-threatening illness, relationships, the death of a loved one, running a business during uncertain times, and even war. In the end, he finds, it is what's in your heart, not what's in your pack, that separates the living from the dead. Fascinating and absolutely essential for anyone who hikes in the woods, this book will change the way we understand ourselves and the great outdoors.… (mais)

Curious explanations of how the mind works under stress and why some outdoorsmen survive things such as avalanches, being shipwrecked, etc. This book made me develop more respect for Nature and it's terrible power. And I will never be doing any such thing like rock climbing or heli-skiing!! ( )

It’s not always the most physically fit or technically adept who survive in life or death situations. Gonzales uses actual survival cases, scientific analyses, and his own experiences to explain why accidents are inevitable, and who lives or dies can be predicted. ( )

This should have been a good book with a solid premise, but the writing is not good. The author continually tries to use odd metaphors over and over again without much success. I had to reread over sections in order to just comprehend what was going on. There is a book in there somewhere, but the odd mix of philosophy and pseudo-science really does not work. I would not recommend this book at all. ( )

Gonzales states; “Our ultimate survival -in life, in love, in business-evolves by common rules on a shared landscape.” He asks “why rational people (do) inexplicable things to get themselves killed-against all advice, against all reason” and attributes it to the “hostile take over of consciousness by emotion.” After relating several disheartening examples of death and dismay suffered by the dead, and the survivors, he lays out three reasons why people needless endanger themselves (and others), and then outlines 12 steps to survival.

Would I recommend this book? Yes, especially if you have never had to employ a survivor mentality in your life. I would also recommend this book to those who are leaders as well as to those who teach outdoor skills or lead trips into the wilderness. Not a handbook by any means, this book does offer big picture advice with very diverse application. If I were to sum it up this book said to me (and these are my own words):

If you are going to do something “stupid” be smart about it.
