What separates those who survive life-threatening ordeals from those who don't? This gripping exploration delves into the psychology and science behind survival, examining real-life disasters from plane crashes to wilderness emergencies. Through compelling case studies and cutting-edge research, it reveals the surprising mental patterns and behaviours that determine who lives and who dies when facing extreme danger.

Far more than a collection of survival stories, this work offers profound insights into human decision-making under pressure, the role of emotion versus logic, and why experienced adventurers sometimes perish whilst novices walk away. Essential reading for anyone who ventures into the outdoors, it challenges conventional wisdom about survival and provides practical understanding of how our brains respond when everything goes wrong.
