About How to Survive Survival
In How to Survive Survival, kidnapping survivor and New York Times bestselling author Jessica Buchanan asks the deeper question that comes after trauma, loss, and heartbreak: Now what? Through raw honesty, soulful reflection, and powerful storytelling, Jessica shares her own journey of rebuilding a life after surviving the unthinkable-and introduces readers to others who have turned their deepest wounds into a force for good.
From survivors of violence, grief, addiction, and betrayal to warriors of chronic illness, military loss, and injustice, How to Survive Survival highlights the resilient, everyday people who have chosen purpose over paralysis and contribution over collapse.
Guided by Jessica's RISE Framework (Reckon with the Pain, Identify the Impact, Seek the Meaning, Embody the Purpose) this book isn't about moving on. It's about moving through-and emerging with something meaningful to offer the world.
Whether you're in the aftermath of something life-altering or standing beside someone who is, How to Survive Survival will meet you in the messy middle and walk with you toward hope, purpose, and a life rebuilt on truth.
