Abstract

MUCH OF THE MATERIAL IS WRITTEN AROUND THE AUTHOR'S APPROACH TO INCREASING SURVIVABILITY BY DECREASING VULNERABILITY. MANY OF THE SECTIONS STRESS CHARACTER TRAITS WHICH INDICATE VULNERABILITY AND ENHANCE THE POSSIBILITY FOR PERSONAL CRISIS. THE BOOK IS GENERALLY ORGANIZED AROUND THE CONCEPT OF 'WINNERS VERSUS LOSERS'.
