My review of “Unthinkable”

The Unthinkable: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes - and Why The Unthinkable: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes - and Why by Amanda Ripley

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
READ THIS BOOK. PERIOD.

How people react to disaster is often different than you think. Most of the time we all go into shock and that shock can benefit or hinder our survivability. The tips in this book will help you harness or overcome (where needed) your instinctive reactions to better survive many situations.

I read this book in only a few hours because the stories and the advice are so compelling. It will make you think differently about how you react to situations and will cause you to change your level of preparedness.

At the end, this is a positive story. Humans in difficult situations bond for the common good. Somewhere in there is the ability to bond through all situations. There are heroes among us and sometimes we just need to look inside ourselves to find them.
