There’s a quote that is often attributed to Charles Darwin: “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change.” And the theme of this week's episode is survival. Joining Rick on this episode is Laurence Gonzales, an award-winning writer and bestselling author of Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why and its sequel Surviving Survival: The Art and Science of Resilience. In part one, Laurence discusses what inspired him to study survival, the twelve traits of survivors, and why 90% of people freeze or panic in certain situations.
