Typically, we Americans navigate our daily routines as smoothly as we drive our cars. But Wmuch of our confidence comes from the nature of routine itself, from living day to day and year to year in fairly predictable circumstances—intact homes, functioning hospitals, running water, stocked supermarkets that open on schedule, and everyone where they should be when they should be there. It’s natural to take for granted that we have things under control. But when disaster strikes—as anyone who’s lived through it knows—the fantasy of control collapses, along with the infrastructure that makes our lives normal. When the unthinkable occurs, our perceptions change along with our surroundings; we become viscerally aware that we can’t control outside events—and that to stay alive we must act quickly in unfamiliar circumstances. Thankfully, we can survive disasters. History demonstrates that in the face of catastrophic threats, we humans instinctively act to preserve life —both our own and the lives of others. To do so effectively, however, we need the right tools. This book is your guide to those tools, not the least of which are mental tools.
