What is the connection between crawling through a jungle and your 'to
do' list? What can ejecting out of a stealth bomber teach you about the
importance of thinking the worst? What can surviving in extreme
situations teach us about surviving everyday life?John Hudson, Chief
Survival Instructor to the British Military, knows what it takes to
survive. Combining first-hand experience with twenty years of studying
the choices people have made under the most extreme pressure, How to
Survive is a lifetime's worth of wisdom about how to apply the
principles of survival to everyday life.The cornerstone of military
survival (surviving anything) is understanding the relationship between
effort, hope, and goals--a mindset that can be transposed anytime,
anywhere. In How to Survive you will learn how this template for
survival can be applied to any situation in your everyday life.Through
gripping first-hand accounts of near disaster and survival stories from
across the extreme world, you will learn that by following these
principles you can develop the mindset that will allow you to make
better decisions under pressure, which are as equally applicable to
first dates and presentations as to climbing Everest and getting lost at
sea.
