Is there an art to survival? Seeking answers to this intriguing question from a pantheon of master survivors, noted thinkers, and spiritual teachers, acclaimed memoirist Mark Matousek combines decades of personal experience with recent scientific breakthroughs―and heroic testimonies― to create a guidebook for navigating life's tricky terrain. How do we live with uncertainty―blossom through adversity while others fall apart, prevail in times of change and challenge? "Transformation is in our wiring," the author concludes by the end of this deeply personal quest.
