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.

Fanboy

I’ve been a fan & follower of Mr. Glover since seeing him on the YouTubes. The book is short and precise with so much great info on being prepared. I like how he emphasized that it’s not about prepping for the apocalypse, but rather being prepared for other disasters that might happen where you live. It’s one that I will read(listen to) more than once.

YES!!! A MUST HAVE BOOK.

I got so much info from this book, stuff an over fifty👵🏼 woman would not think about.
Lol, watching Walking Dead 🧟‍♂️ from episode 1 doesn’t cover what you need for real life. 😅
I do still have questions about my home preparedness situation,
I think I can ask Mike on Patreon hopefully.
Love this book and he may not like his voice, but, listening to this book, you just know it’s Mike and it’s real talk 💯

Relevant and Concise

Good book with a lot of great points. I will be listening to this book a few more times and then maybe once a year in perpetuity.

Very important

This book exemplifies what it means to be the change you want to see in the world. Mike talks about a very important but seldom talked about subject; preparedness. What is sometimes an uncomfortable subject, Mike makes it very digestible and understandable without the taboo.

Made me think

This was an excellent book regarding preparedness. I really appreciate the the author, Mike Glover, read the book. He did a great job of conveying the story information in a practical way that made it seem less overwhelming to put into action.

Must Read

Everything to get you started on your journey to being a prepared individual for life and survival

This is for YOU and Your FAMILY

Whether you are just getting started, or just thinking about it (becoming More perpard) of living in this ever changing and violent world, this book will guild you and give you options. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Thank you Mike for your SERVICE and guidance.

Love me some Kimchi!!

Been listening in the truck with my boys (16 & 9) every day. Full of invaluable information. Well done.

Practical advice for today’s world

Mike’s book outlines what being prepared means in practical and easy to understand terms. I’ve followed his YouTube channel for a while now and this book condenses his best advice and content into an organized “how to” collection.

Broad Coverage; All Walks of Life

I listen to Mike Glovers content alot and was surprised to see how broadly this covered the topic for the average citizen and it wad a great change of pace that he made the decision to appeal to more people. I can't recommend some stuff he's talked about to certain family members because I know how'd they recieve it, but this gets the message through in a very unbiased way (although I can hear the tongue in cheek references 😉)
