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.

Chapter 1: The Resilient Mindset
Catastrophe is an equal opportunist. It doesn't care about your personal wealth or social status, your religious convictions, or how nice of a person you are. Catastrophe doesn't operate or execute on timelines and constraints. It doesn't have an objective or a goal outside of turning your life into complete and utter chaos. The question here is, are you prepared? Are you ready to be confronted-head-on-by the worst day of your life?
In preparedness, it is often said, mindset is everything. You hear that phrase a lot from those who have built a business around the idea of "improving your mindset." What I've often found is that the so-called experts don't have any tangible advice for improving mindset. Like, how do I actually make my mindset better, and what is mindset in the first place? Let's start off by answering those basic questions.
Many people walk through life either numb or vibrating from self-induced anxiety. They have lots of everyday worries that have fried their brains and maxed their capacity to cope with life's curveballs. This has become the new baseline in modern society. We have grown accustomed to lives full of low-grade stress that cause us to overreact emotionally. This means we underrespond cognitively and fail to source solutions that lead to improved outcomes. This ultimately leads to disastrous results when we are confronted with compressed timelines and high-grade stress, otherwise known as catastrophe. Essentially, we have redefined our baseline coping mechanisms and are less resilient as a society.
When I talk about having the right mindset, what I'm referring to is resilience-having the ability to withstand the initial shock when catastrophe strikes, and then having the wherewithal to respond in a timely and constructive manner. A resilient mindset is everything, because your ability to withstand an acutely traumatic event and respond to it may very well mean the difference between life and death.
It doesn't get more conclusive than that.
Of course, it's not so simple as knowing what to say or what to do and then wishing resilience into existence. To develop resilience requires training and exposure. It requires an understanding of stress and how both the mind and body respond to it. And to understand that, you first and foremost require a solid grasp on your very own mental machinery.
The Nervous System
The brain is the command center of the body. Nearly every action the body takes, whether it's voluntary (like walking and talking) or involuntary (like breathing and blinking), is initiated in the brain. The signal runs down the spinal cord, which together with the brain make up the central nervous system, then out through the nerves that make up the peripheral nervous system, which trigger the movement of muscles and the function of organs.
Voluntary movements are guided by the somatic system, which is made up of sensory and motor neurons. Sensory neurons take in information from our interaction with the world around us-touch, taste, sight, sound, smell-and relay it to the brain. Motor neurons go the other direction, sending information or instructions down through the spinal cord and into our muscle tissue, creating movement. You can think of it as a loop or a circuit-like arteries and veins. One sends blood from the heart to the body, the other sends blood from the body back to the heart.
Let's say you're walking down a city street. Your motor neurons tell your leg muscles to fire, your ankle to flex, and your foot to roll heel to toe, making a step. Your sensor neurons take in information about the unevenness of the sidewalk under your feet, the sound of the ambulance siren around the corner, the sight of the traffic light about to turn yellow, and the person coming from the other direction, headed right into your path. The brain processes this data in an instant and sends a set of commands to motor neurons that slow your pace and angle your hips. Your knees and feet follow by sidestepping a couple paces to the right to avoid the oncoming pedestrian.
The purpose of this little ninth-grade biology lesson is only to point out that, whether you realize it or not, you have conscious control of all the movements where the somatic system is activated. That is not the case with the autonomic system, which is the other half of our peripheral nervous system that controls involuntary movements: functions like heart rate, digestion, respiration, perspiration, and pupil dilation. This is important to note because this is the part of the nervous system that lights up like a Christmas tree under stress and in catastrophe.
Like the somatic system, the autonomic system is best understood in two parts: the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS). The sympathetic nervous system governs your fight-or-flight response to external, physical threats and acute psychological stress. When you hear the gunshots at close range; when the proctor begins the exam, and you forget everything you studied; when the sky goes black and you hear the train whistle sound of an approaching tornado; when the spotlight hits your face and you have to deliver a speech to a packed house; and when you're standing between a mama bear and her cubs and she has you in her sights. This is when the sympathetic nervous system kicks in and dumps a bunch of adrenaline into your bloodstream. Your pupils and the secondary pathways in your lungs dilate, increasing visual acuity and lung capacity. Your heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration rate go way up, making your hands sweat. Your blood glucose spikes, and stored body fat gets released for more energy. Your skin goes pale while your face goes flush as the blood rushes to major muscle groups. All these bodily reactions are happening at once to facilitate the primal mobilization tactic in survival: fight or flight.
If the perceived threat persists beyond a moment or two, the brain then sends a signal to the adrenal glands to release cortisol-the body's primary stress hormone-to keep you on high alert. If the threat doesn't materialize (or when it ends), cortisol levels dissipate and the parasympathetic nervous system takes over to wind down the overall stress response and return the body's systems to normal. Whereas the SNS controls "fight or flight" in this capacity, it is said that the PSNS governs "rest and digest." And in that transitional phase when the body is catching up to the brain's understanding of the situation as the parasympathetic nervous system clears all the hormones from the bloodstream, it's not uncommon for someone to feel dizzy, nauseous, or exhausted.
Adapted over six million years of hominid evolution, this is how the human nervous system is supposed to work. But that's nowhere near the full story, right? None of us are so finely tuned to our nervous systems that our conscious actions perfectly sync up with the hormonal tsunami released into our bodi
