About this listen
You have survived the crisis - trauma, disease, accident, or war - now how do you get your life back?
The shark attacked while she was snorkeling, tearing through Micki Glenn’s breast and shredding her right arm. Her husband, a surgeon, saved her life on the spot, but when she was safely home she couldn’t just go on with her life. She had entered an even more profound survival journey: the aftermath.
The survival experience changes everything because it invalidates all your previous adaptations, and the old rules don’t apply. In some cases survivors suffer more in the aftermath than they did during the actual crisis. In all cases, they have to work hard to reinvent themselves. Drawing on gripping cases across a wide range of life-threatening experiences, Laurence Gonzales fashions a compelling argument about fear, courage, and the adaptability of the human spirit. Micki Glenn was later moved to say: "I don’t regret that this happened to me. [It] has been...probably the single most positive experience I’ve ever had."

Sensational
Laurence is my favourite author, I have read this book several times and overjoyed now to be able to listen to it as well. I'm sure I will know it off by heart, as I do Deep Survival and Everyday Survival. Thank you Laurence x

Everyone would benefit from this book
I really enjoyed this book and the fascinating information it contained. It encompassed things that I would never have considered which made it even better. The only thing I had trouble with was trying to keep track of all the different people whose stories were being told in each chapter who would then pop up in other chapters and I couldn't remember what their story was. It was also fascinating hearing the scientific side of things which I hadn't expected. I love when science is finally able to prove things that people have known to be true for eons.
I believe if people understand the scientifically verified causes behind certain behaviours in people who have been through trauma as described in this book then maybe people would be more compassionate to one another.
Highly recommended
