[Gem ~ · Rating 4 out of 5]

Packed with pragmatic and perceptive advice and examples of how humans can navigate all kinds of crisis from huge disasters, to divorce, ill health and death. I felt the author was gentle and so kind in her words both about the people that she has come across over years of emergency planning but also her own personal crisis and it felt like chatting with a friend, both comforting and enlightening.
This is ultimately an uplifting and positive book about the very worst that humans can encounter but so many reasons why this shapes us and connects us.

Superbly written with thoughtful and practical advice. I particularly liked the index, further reading and notes on references. It feels like Lucy’s lessons, written with humour, hope and humanity are essential reading.

A thorough and thoughtful examination of what makes good help and self care before, during and after the worst has happened. It's a hard read at times but important. a must read for everyone
