Although the concept of survival is evident in a biological sense, it expands far beyond simple physical survival for the human being. The questions of psychological, emotional, intellectual and spiritual survival, as well as the overriding question of identity all play a role. Who is the ‘me' that is fighting to survive? That is the existential question we struggle consciously or unconsciously to address.

Editorial Reviews

Jerry, I read through your book and was bowled over by its breadth and depth, and by the scholarship in it, and by the clarity and fluency in your writing. Excellent!

Rick Hanson Ph.D.

Jerry Pannone helps us make sense of our world and ourselves in his life-affirming book that goes deep, fast. “Survive” resonates in a powerful way, asking us to consider the questions of life: why do we do what we do? and why does that matter? The author takes us on his journey of self-discovery, and by the end of the book, we can’t help but have a greater understanding of our own life journey.

John Sharify

SURVIVE is an excellent-written book that presents valuable information on several aspects of survival; physiological, philosophical, psychological and spiritual. It provides awareness-raising techniques and coping strategies. This is a book for everyone, young and old.
