Here is the gritty and granular truth behind the wagers we make with our lives every single day - and, sometimes, as it turns out, just once in a lifetime. What are your chances of living through the next 24 hours? This week? This month? This decade? Will your job kill you? Your car kill you? Your spouse kill you? Or will your own bad habits kill you? And how does where you live increase or decrease your risk? Or will a rogue asteroid just kill us all? You Bet Your Life applies to you, the individual, the analytical approach insurance companies use to calculate risk: actuarial science. The result is a comprehensive, encyclopedic, real-world assessment of the risks we take every day of our all-too-finite lives.

Sheila Buff is the author of numerous books on consumer-oriented health and medicine, including national and Amazon bestsellers. Her husband and co-author, Joe Buff, holds an MS in mathematics from MIT and, an expert on risk, has been a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries (FSA) since 1980. After a long Wall Street career and engagement as a partner in a Top 10 global management consulting firm, he created the bestselling USS Challenger future submarine warfare fiction series. Joe and Sheila live in the rural town of Milan in New York State’s beautiful mid-Hudson Valley with their dog Daphne.
