Why Do We Run to Survival Movies While Fearing Our Real-Life Problems?

 Why Do We Run to Survival Movies While Fearing Our Real-Life Problems? Have you ever found yourself curled up on a comfortable sofa, heart racing as you watch a climber dangle from a rusted 2,000-foot tower or a diver trapped in a shark cage with a ticking oxygen tank?

After reviewing dozens of survival thrillers and diving deep into the stoic wisdom of books like Meditations, I’ve realized that our obsession with "Survival Cinema" isn't just about adrenaline.
