The Third Man Factor

The Third Man Factor The Secret of Who Survives in Extreme Environments by John Geiger Publisher: Livros d'Hoje The Third Man Factor stems from an extraordinary idea: that those who find themselves at death's door—often adventurers and explorers—feel the presence of an incorporeal being beside them, encouraging them to survive. Most astonishingly, over the years this phenomenon has occurred repeatedly across a wide variety of cases: from survivors of September 11 to mountaineers, divers, polar explorers, prisoners of war, lone sailors, aviators, and astronauts. All escaped traumatic events and tell remarkably similar stories revealing the presence of a kind of guardian. This mysterious force has been explained in various ways—from hallucinations to divine intervention. Recent neurological research, however, suggests something else. In this book, John Geiger combines history, scientific analysis, and remarkable adventures to explain this survival secret: a Third Man who—paraphrasing the legendary Italian mountaineer Reinhold Messner—«enables us to do the impossible».
