This guide is clearly the average person's "cliff notes" on Y2K preparation! It's brief, it's to-the-point, and it's easy to read. In addition to an explanation of the Year 2000 computer problem, the author provides the 12 most important steps to prepare for the crisis. This includes important information on how to store water and food, secure your home, and much more. Unlike other books, this guide also discusses the "emotion" of Y2K, including ways to deal with Y2K fears and panic.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Author
I hope everyone can benefit from the information in this important guidebook. I wrote it with "easy preparation" in mind, meaning I've provided lots of "easy-to-use" lists so that the reader can just "check off things as they go!" As important as knowing what to do about water, food, security, and electrical power, is the issue of how to deal with fear and other negative emotions that accompany Y2K.
To help with that, I've included specific things to do to decrease Y2K anxiety and stress. I've kept the guidebook brief so that anyone who wants a "I just want to know what to do!" reference can benefit, without pouring through tons of technical information. So, if you want to know the basics of Y2K - the best of how to prepare - and the greatest ways to "stay sane" before and during Y2K, check out this book. Thanks.
From the Back Cover
Is a Y2K crisis really going to happen? Are you worried about the Y2K scare? What will you do if the power goes off, if the stores' supply of food is depleted, or if drinking water is not available? What's really going to happen when January 1, 2000 arrives and computerized systems begin to fail? No one knows, but if a crisis does occur you need to be prepared. This guide offers the 12 most important things you need to do to prepare yourself, your family, and your home for a Y2K crisis. It also tells you how to deal with Y2K fears. Because, Y2K is not a time to "panic!" It's a time to get ready for the future.

cheap excuse and cheaply produced,
By A Customer
This review is from: Don't Panic! You Can Prepare for the Y2K Crisis. (Paperback)
After reading this book I've decided to break down the authors' summary listed above. "I hope everyone can benefit from the information in this important guidebook". Translation: I'm the author and I want you to all by my book so I can get filthy rich. "I wrote it with "easy preparation" in mind, meaning I've provided lots of "easy-to-use" lists so that the reader can just "check off things as they go!" Translation: I've padded my booklet with filler materials to fill enough pages to justify it's salability." "As important as knowing what to do about water, food, security, and electrical power, is the issue of how to deal with fear and other negative emotions that accompanyY2K." Translation: I'm a fear monger trying to prey on people's insecurities." "To help with that, I've included specific things to do to decrease Y2K anxiety and stress." Translation: "I've just included an altered list from the Anxiety Disorders Association. "I've kept the guidebook brief so that anyone who wants a "I just want to know what to do!" reference can benefit, without pouring through tons of technical information." Translation: "I actually know very little about the subject matter, at least compared to the many bona fide experts out there." So, if you want to know the basics of Y2K - the best of how to prepare - and the greatest ways to "stay sane" before and during Y2K, check out this book. Thanks." Translation: "the biggest thing to fear is not fear itself, rather it's opportunistic, greedy, two-faced schyster's like the author."

Kinko's special,
By A Customer
This review is from: Don't Panic! You Can Prepare for the Y2K Crisis. (Paperback)
This booklet reminds of when I had class projects for college. I'd take them to Kinko's down the street from the University. For a book report this type of job is fine. However, to pay so much for this is crazy. Anyone who buys this junk should also make a counselor appointment with the author to discuss the wonders of fraud.

ludicrous!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Don't Panic! You Can Prepare for the Y2K Crisis. (Paperback)
This must be a bad joke. Just like a lot of psychologists. I didn't know that Kinko's is now a publishing firm? This is truly shoddy. For shame!
