If you are into machine guns and underground bunkers this book is probably not for you. However, if you believe that the smart thing to do is prepare for an emergency without disrupting your present life, you may want to read this book.

If you believe that joy and happiness are gained by doing new things and not by obtaining new things, this book might be a good fit for you. We can't predict the future. No one knows what's in store for us around the corner. We may be lucky and avoid a major disaster in our lifetime. We may not. This book is not about doom and gloom. It is about hope. It is about creating a new lifestyle now, which will enhance your life now while you prepare. The suggestions in this book will not only help you prepare, it will help you create a simpler and fuller life. Simple is good. Simple is joyous and healthy. Our lives have somehow gotten out of control. How to Prepare Now attempts to bring your life back under your control. When we are in control of our lives, we emanate a quiet confidence; bringing us power. This new personal power is not about controlling others. It is the realization that we can control our destiny. It brings a renewed strength and a desire to interact with others in a communal and shared way. Intuition is a powerful thing. It has been estimated that forty one percent of the U.S. population believe that they will experience a major disaster in their lifetime. That's over 127 million people. We are all animals, and just like animals in the wild, we have the ability to sense impending danger. My intuition tells me to be ready. My intuition tells me to start now and enjoy the simple things in life while preparing. How to Prepare Now helps you act on your intuition and start your preparation now.
