From AudioFile
Author and narrator Sherwood analyzes the notion of survival in this fascinating manual, which promises to help listeners overcome fears by debunking the Darwinian idea that only the strong survive various catastrophes and emergencies such as a plane crash or attack by a mountain lion. It's more a matter of how a person looks at the world, he says. There are a plethora of groundbreaking ideas and techniques at work here. Sherwood's approach is highly linear, and his narration follows suit. Ultimately, the various techniques the author advises are well presented in his sturdy, no-nonsense yet personable narration.
