Seems like it would be interesting, but isn't back by data... all just a bunch of crazy stories linked together by an author who talks himself up and has weird daddy issues. Normally I'm not so harsh, but, after noting this is the third similar book the author has written, I feel like he's reaching for something and just not willing to do the work to ground it in research... so he keeps getting the same poor results.

NOTE:
If you really like survival stories, this book might be a 3, but I would rather read the stories that others have written (and he just recounts) than read this book.
