What is your book about? A question I am often asked.

The answer seems a bit difficult because the book is not simply about one thing.

My book is in fact three books bound together. It is primarily a self-help manual. Written for people that believe improving life, protecting self and family (loved ones) is important.

It is my belief that a healthy mind will always be beneficial to the individual.
Knowledge is strength.
Strength is power.

In my opinion the most dangerous afflictions are ignorance, apathy and optimism bias.
Not knowing.
Not caring that we don't know.
The belief that bad things will not happen to me or mine.

The first section is about mental attributes and skills. A favorite quote of mine from the movie Cool Hand Luke, is "You have got to get your mind right”. Getting the mind right is not just about attitude it is also about knowledge.

Some skills and information that can be found in the first section include:

The second section is full of physical information and skills. Many people either think they know these skills or believe there is no need.

Most skills shown are simple and will prove useful in everyday life. Once they are learned, you may wonder how you ever got along without them. Many people find these chapters improve their life by improving their personal skill set.

For an example:

The third section is chocked full of checklist and simple easy projects.

All of this is wrapped up in a single manual entitled Empowerment Readiness. It is a collection of information and skills that will aid you in life's little everyday struggles. Skills that will inevitably prove extremely useful should you find yourself immersed in a disaster. Even small disasters become large when not physically and mentally prepared.
