About this audiobook
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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I thought this was excellent. Just what I needed - a book that acknowledges that yes, bad things do happen, but an awful lot of people manage to move beyond the bad things that happened to them. The book isn't just a collection of anecdotes though, you get a real sense of the continuity from the presence of author as he interacts with and thinks about the people he's interviewing or writing about. Instead of being a dispassionate narrator, the author himself is very much a part of this book. I'd also say that the type of inspiration in these stories is not the frantic cheerleader type, but rather a quieter, calmer assurance that yes, it's possible to find happiness in life.
