Everyday Survival by Laurence Gonzales
Laurence Gonzales turns his talent for gripping narrative, knowledge of the way our minds and bodies work, and bottomless curiosity about the world to the topic of how we can best use the lessons of our evolutionary history to overcome the hazards of everyday life. He finds that natural laws profoundly affect our actions, and he reveals the hidden causes and costs of our behavior, whether as individuals or as a species whose decisions may be leading to darker times. Whether you are climbing a mountain or the corporate ladder, Everyday Survival will change the way you view your choices in our complex, dangerous, and quickly changing world.
"..[a] lively attempt to isolate the common factors that cause some people to survive and others to die." Independent on Sunday "Buy it so you know what to do if you happen to fall off a mountain." Anthony Sattin, The Sunday Times"
