Ben Sherwood: The Survivor's Club

The Secrets and Science of the World’s Most Effective Survivors and Thrivers


Ben Sherwood, Journalist; Author, The Survivors Club


Gil Gross, Host, KGO Radio - Moderator


How do we bounce back from extreme adversity? Best-selling author and journalist Sherwood has the answer. From a scientific perspective, he explores the differences between those who overcome difficulties and those who do not; those who beat a life-threatening illness and those who succumb; and those who triumph despite economic hardship and those who falter. Sherwood is the founder and CEO of thesurvivorsclub.org, a resource web site for those struggling with everything from eating disorders to foreclosures. Sherwood is also the author of two critically acclaimed best-selling novels, including The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud, now a major feature film starring Zac Efron. Sherwood was also executive producer of ABC’s “Good Morning America,” as well as senior producer for “NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw.”
