- Kort biografi
- Ben Sherwood is a bestselling author, award-winning journalist and executive director of TheSurvivorsClub.org. From 2004 to 2006, he worked as executive producer of ABC’s Good Morning America during the two most successful seasons in the program’s history. Sherwood guided prize-winning coverage of the tsunami in Southeast Asia, the devastation of hurricane Katrina, and the presidential election of 2004
From 1997 to 2001, Sherwood served as senior broadcast producer and senior producer of NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw. From 1989 to 1993, he worked as a producer and associate producer at ABC News PrimeTime Live with Diane Sawyer and Sam Donaldson.
Sherwood is the author of two critically acclaimed best-selling novels: The Man Who Ate the 747 and The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud. Both books were translated into more than 13 languages and are in development as feature films. The Man Who Ate the 747 is also being developed as a Broadway musical.
Sherwood’s new book, The Survivors Club, is a non-fiction exploration of the science and secrets of who bounces back from everyday adversity and who doesn’t; who beats life-threatening disease and who succumbs; and who triumphs after economic hardship and who surrenders.
In January 2009, Sherwood founded TheSurvivorsClub.org, an online resource center and support network for people surviving and thriving in the face of all kinds of adversity.
A graduate of Harvard College and a Rhodes Scholar, Sherwood earned masters degrees in history and development economics at Oxford University. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife Karen Kehela Sherwood and their son Will.

Men hur behandlar Ben Sherwood sina människor egentligen? De blir bara stereotyper allihop, inte en enda levande karaktär genom hela boken. Och vilka fördomar han luftar med sina beskrivningar av livet och folket på landsbygden i USA.
Till på köpet är hans försök till humor så undermåliga att det gränsar till bli pinsamt.
Idén är ju trots allt lite rolig, och titeln suverän, varför mitt betyg klarar sig precis upp på en tvåa.… (mer)
