SUMMARY:Nature and Adventure Book Club with Social Readers
DESCRIPTION:Read or listen to: \nDeep Survival\, Who lives\, Who Dies\, And Why. by Laurence Gonzales \nExamining stories of miraculous endurance and tragic death\, how people get into trouble and how they get out again (or not)-Deep Survival takes us from the tops of snowy mountains and the depths of oceans to the workings of the brain that controls our behavior. Through close analysis of case studies\, Lauraence Gonzales describes the “stages of survival” and reveals the essence of a survivor-truths that apply not only to surviving in the wild but also to surviving life-threatening illness\, relationships\, the death of a loved one\, running a business during uncertain times\, and even war. In the end\, he finds\, it is what’s in your heart not what’s in your pack\, that separates the living from the dead. \nMeeting Location: Grassy lawn at Lookout Point in Corona Del Mar.\nOptional: Bring your dinner or join our sunset dinner potluck to be even more social. \nLawn chair or blanket may add to your comfort. \nFree Parking along Ocean Blvd and on adjacent streets.
