Summary of Laurence Gonzales's Deep Survival

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The place where the landing gear of the plane is meant to touch down is only a few feet away from me. I can see the white foul line shining against the black nonskid deck. I am standing next to the arrival end of a very short runway built onto the deck of the boat.

#2 The first lesson is to remain calm in a survival situation. Emotions are called hot cognitions and they go hand in hand with panic. Be cool, and focus on the task at hand.

#3 The boundary between life and death is a place of extreme calmness and alertness. Not everyone can stay calm and alert in such a place, and some fail, while others die.

#4 The first rule is to face reality. Good survivors aren’t immune to fear, and they know what’s happening. They can’t ignore it, so they must prepare for it. They must laugh at threats, playing and laughing go together.
