Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Mark on January 27, 2025

Well-written, focusing on the right stuff: a mindset of a person, who would like to be an asset to his/her community and a guardian for their family and friends. And only after that: EDC, bug-outs and the rest of the cool stuff. Additional bonus is some great tools and gear recommendations. All in all......more

Goodreads review by Nick on June 26, 2023

This book is clearly centered on the American context where violent home invasions by gun-wielding thugs are commonplace (or so the author asserts). So glad I live in a part of the world where gun ownership isn't really a thing for the general population. In that vein there's a fairly strong "paranoi......more

A no BS approach to taking care of you else and your family when shit hits the fan. Making plans ahead of time is the only way to survive a catastrophe. My wife is going to be pissed once I start putting the family through regular fire drills.......more

Goodreads review by James on April 13, 2024

I’m sure there are people who are going to view this book as Doomsday Prepper fear mongering, but I think that’s would be a narrow minded take on what is a valiant attempt at jarring the reader into realizing just how unprepared they might be for any type of catastrophe. The author has also been thr......more

Goodreads review by Yura on August 28, 2023

A lot of advice in the book seems too general to me and rather apparent, e.g. "make a plan", "make a backup plan", "store a supply of water and food for emergency", etc. And a big portion of more detailed advice I already encountered in YouTube videos.......more
