Laurence Gonzales turns his talent for gripping narrative, knowledge of the way our minds and bodies
work, and bottomless curiosity about the world to the topic of how we can best use the lessons of our
evolutionary history to overcome the hazards of everyday life. He finds that natural laws profoundly
affect our actions, and he reveals the hidden causes and costs of our behavior, whether as individuals
or as a species whose decisions may be leading to darker times.

Whether you are climbing a mountain or the corporate ladder, Everyday Survival will change the way you
view your choices in our complex, dangerous, and quickly changing world.
