Sinopse
Inspired by Wondery’s hit podcast with 1.3 million monthly listeners, Against the Odds takes you inside the stories of everyday people confronted by life-or-death situations and shows you how to survive nature’s most extreme scenarios.
In our most dire moments, humans will fight, struggle, and triumph—no matter how unlikely the chance for survival. Against the Odds transports readers into first-person accounts of real-life survivors, detailing the harrowing, moment-to-moment events that brought them to death’s door. Including dynamic illustrations, sidebars, and callouts, each story explores the physiological responses of the human body under unbearable conditions, how to counteract them, and strategies for survival from doctors and psychologists. Through these lived experiences, we see the grit, determination, and willpower needed to navigate out of a host of merciless situations.
Broken into three parts—Extreme Environments, Attacked by Animals, and Natural Disasters—these stomach-twisting stories include guidance on how to survive being:

- BURIED BY AN EARTHQUAKE: There’s still hope after being buried alive. Find out how to survive the crush, maintain your sanity if trapped under the rubble, and “think away your hunger.”
- And many more!
