NATIONAL BESTSELLER

A former Green Beret’s indispensable course in preparedness, teaching the keys to building a resilient and fearless life


Most people think that being prepared for catastrophe means stocking up on MREs and building a bunker in their backyard, but this approach leaves you vulnerable in the real world of car accidents, natural disasters, grid failures, and global pandemics. Prepared overturns today’s paranoid survival wisdom and teaches the foundational skills of preparedness that will not only help you build situational awareness and achieve greater mobility but that will also help you build resilient mental habits.

After 20 years in the US Army, Special Forces, and as a government contractor for the CIA, Mike Glover has trained thousands of men, women, and families in the art and science of survival. In this book, he shows you how to:

• Harness your brain chemistry to eliminate the freeze response and increase your stress tolerance during a crisis
• Fortify your home by learning how to use and store essential foods, water, supplies, first aid, and ammunition in your everyday life
• Equip your vehicle with sufficient first aid, so you can respond to injuries even before an ambulance arrives—dramatically increasing your chance of survival in an accident

Drawing on Glover’s most dire experiences in combat and in the real world, this book shows you how almost no disaster is more powerful than someone who is truly prepared. For Glover, surviving catastrophe is not about fearing crisis, but creating more resilient habits so that you can be ready for whatever comes your way.

Interesting

Some of the points made in this book are quite interesting but as a European they might seem a bit over the top. I was disappointed that Ray didn't narrate and only had a short piece at the start.

Still, sort of an interesting book with some tips that I never would have imagined thinking about.

Thought Provoking!

Really clear and easy to follow book that has certainly got me thinking. I’ll be definitely trying to implement a lot of these strategies in my life. Really glad that Mike read the book himself, I’d really enjoyed watching/listening to him on his podcast appearances. Good guy.

A realisation for the normal person

For the average person, who hasn’t been in the military, or ever exposed to an outdoors life, or a life containing trauma or danger. This book is an eye opener to how much reliance the average person has on society, and how quick that may fall apart and leave you vulnerable, and unprepared.

Lots of hype and sensationalising. clearly aimed at wealthy people eg don't rely on adsl, you need satellite connectivity!

yawn, was expecting better.
Some useful bits but not worth the time I spent listening to it.

Too much about guns

If you are into guns, then this is perfect for you.

Really disappointing

I’ve enjoyed Mike on a few podcasts but this is just over the top garbage. For any European I can tell you this is 100% not for you, the quote “your sitting with your wife having a glass of wine and you say to her what if someone came though the front door with a gun now” was enough for me to turn this rubbish off. Mike also speaks about teaching your dog code words for how to escape a fire in your home. Maybe this is applicable for Americans but for people in the Uk, this audiobook is a complete waste of time
