Would have a 4.
Appendix focused on COVID took away from the entire book, using health "experts" as references. Unfortunately it dates the entire book and looking at data coming out now on the downsides of all the "expert" guidance hurts this book, as their guidance was in many ways anti-survival mentality, with isolation, lack of personal health care (gyms, social groups, etc.), masks, mental deterioration, blind obedience with lack of critical thinking, etc.

I really wish this was out before Christmas because I would happily wrap 3 of these copies for my family. With the world in its current state How to Survive provides readers old and young with some direction and guidance on how to survive through the shit life throws at you and thrive.
