NEW BOOKS ABOUT INTENSE PRIMAL EMOTIONS

So much good stuff to experience and learn...




There are two new books for those who by choice or by accident have found themselves riding waves of intense primal emotions.    Everything from here on was lifted from Amazon...........

BOOK I

Surviving Survival: The Art and Science of Resilience
by Laurence Gonzales author of Deep Survival


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.”

BOOK II



The Fear Project: What Our Most Primal Emotion Taught Me About Survival, Success, Surfing . . . and Love  
by Jaimal Yogis  


Is an epic adventure full of incredible characters, death-defying athletic achievement, and bleeding edge science, THE FEAR PROJECT began with one question: how can we overcome our fears to reach our full potential?


An epic adventure full of incredible characters, death-defying athletic achievement, and bleeding edge science, THE FEAR PROJECT began with one question: how can we overcome our fears to reach our full potential?

Who among us has not been paralyzed by fear? In The Fear Project, award-winning journalist and surfer Jaimal Yogis sets out to better understand fear—why does it so often dominate our lives, what makes it tick, and is there even a way to use it to our advantage? In the process, he plunges readers into great white shark-infested waters, brings them along to surf 40+ foot waves in the dead of winter, and gives them access to some of the world’s best neuroscience labs, psychologists, and extreme athletes.  In this entertaining, often laugh-out-loud narrative, Yogis also treats himself like a guinea pig for all of his research, pushing his own fears repeatedly to the limits—in his sport, in his life, and in love. Ultimately, Yogis shares with his readers the best strategies to emerge triumphant from even the most paralyzing of fears.

THE FEAR PROJECT gives readers insight into the following:

• How fear evolved in the human brain
• How to tell the difference between "good fear" and "bad fear"
• How to use the latest neuroscience to transform fear memories
• Why fear spreads between us and how to counteract fearful "group think"
• How to turn fear into a performance enhancer — athletically and at work

In pursuing this terrifying—and often thrilling—journey with Yogis, we learn how to move through fear and unlock a sense of renewed possibility and a more rewarding life.
