Indlæser... Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why (2003)af Laurence Gonzales
  
Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. 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!! (  ) kwskultety | Jul 4, 2023 |  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. (  ) Cam_Torrens | Mar 17, 2023 | 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. (  ) America21b | Jul 30, 2022 | 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. ( ) ShelleyAlberta | Feb 20, 2021 | I poached this one off a friend's reading list and I'm glad I did. This is an odd duck of a book. Its part survival stories, part tribute to the author's father, part how not to act stupid when lost in the woods, and part celebration of how wonderful it is to be alive. This is the kind of book that will inspire you to put blankets and matches in the trunk of your car - at the same time as it urges you to live life fully and taste all life has to offer.

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. Hæderspriser
