Book Description

“A cigarette and a clipboard saved my life” begins Dan’s book, Surviving September 11th. Standing only ten feet from the blast of a commercial airliner crashing into the Pentagon, the author shares his personal experience on 9/11/01 to offer the wisdom necessary to navigate today’s troubling world. Surviving September 11th is a journey through surviving our nation’s worst tragedy while learning the beauty of life. Dan challenges his readers to appreciate the life they are living right now, and to appreciate the people around them for the contributions made. This book defies the status quo by claiming that real success is found by living in humility while giving gratitude.

Today 18.8 million people live depressed, terrified by the economy and desperately seeking external answers to “Why am I here?” As we allow others to define us, we fail to find ourselves. Surviving September 11th draws on the incredible power of gratitude and connects it between ourselves, and those we know, to help us manifest our purpose.

If you need a message of hope in this fast paced, anxiety driven culture, this book is calling your name. Surviving September 11th challenges readers to believe that they can live this life of gratitude because Dan has lived it in response to our generation’s Pearl Harbor.

Great book! I thought the book would be about the World Trade Center, but it is about the Pentagon. Most people are so focused about the Trade Center, they forget there were others plane crashes that day too.

A very personal look at what a survivor of 9/11 went through and the aftermath on how it affects his life. An incredible book that everyone should read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pentagon Survivor's Story May 10, 2013
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is Dan Holdridge's story of being at the Pentagon on 9/11, and his road to becoming a Survivor. While Dan was physically a survivor as soon as he exited the Pentagon that day, the road to being a mental and emotional survivor was a much longer one. Dan tells of events that day leading up to the plane crashing into the building that he was "inside" (outside, between the buildings)of, how he was rescued by a passing "angel", and the emotional turmoil that followed. Survivor's guilt was a part of his life for a long time. It wasn't until he could learn to forgive, and find his own purpose in life, that he was able to accept things and move on.

A very personal recounting, told from the perspective of the events at the Pentagon, which are often overlooked. Highly recommended!

This is a generic book review that is being written to get this book off the “to be reviewed” list. I am a reader and I don’t necessarily read all of the books I put on my Kindle.

This story was very repetative. It is about a 30 page story that was repeated many times just to fill pages. I respect the story but it was so repetative it was boring. Read more
