Product information
Description
The biggest challenge in disasters, crises and wars is to keep civil society functioning. The average war lasts just over three years and there is no one else but us who will keep society going during that time. We therefore need to be able to continue doing what we do every day.
- Scientifically based - written by researchers at the Swedish National Defense University with both military and psychological expertise.
- Psychological preparedness - focus on mental strength and resilience, in line with the requirements of total defense.
- Accessible yet in-depth - suitable for both committed preppers and curious citizens.
- No scaremongering - just realistic, nuanced and fact-based guidance.
- Complements physical crisis preparedness - an important tool for understanding the human element at the core of the crisis.
A war will not necessarily change your role. But it will mean greater stress and increased demands on you, both professionally and privately. The question of who you are when the war comes is about how you need to be as a person to better meet these increased stresses.
It's human nature to seek simple answers to complex problems, but this book won't be an Ikea manual or checklist for exactly how to act in every situation. However, it will debunk persistent myths and give you valuable knowledge that makes the actual stresses more manageable.
David Bergman is a Lieutenant Colonel, Doctor of Psychology and researcher at the Swedish National Defense University. He has previously published The Psychology of Combat - The Art of Killing and Surviving and four thrillers set in a military environment.
Said about the book:
-The book is aimed at a broad audience - both those who want to understand how society is affected by crises and those who are looking for concrete strategies for dealing with extreme situations. In summary, it is a timely and insightful book that highlights the importance of psychological resilience in crisis.-
