In the face of disaster your personality can get you hurt-even killed. That's because not all personalities are equal to the challenges that ensure survival. If, however, you know what to look for to increase your emotional intelligence, then the right kind of training can give you an advantage.

Inspired by Amanda Ripley's The Unthinkable: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes-and Why, Robbie Grayson uses 44 pictograms to illustrate "the survival arc" and how your individual personality can undermine your chances of surviving a range of disasters and how you can better be prepared for the next unfavorable situation that comes your way.
