Earthquake Mind: How Psychology and Neuroscience Shape Survival explores what really happens inside the human brain when the ground starts to shake. Blending neuroscience, psychology, and real-world preparedness, it reveals how instinct, emotion, and cognition collide in moments when every second counts.

From the first surge of adrenaline to the split-second choices that separate action from paralysis, the book unpacks why some people move while others freeze. It looks at how memory, fear, and stress influence our reactions—and how culture, upbringing, and social context quietly steer behavior when chaos unfolds.

You’ll also step into the future of disaster response, where AI-powered alerts, virtual training, and digital coordination reshape how we face the unknown. Along the way, Earthquake Mind challenges the idea that survival depends solely on structures and systems. True resilience, it argues, begins within the mind.

Whether you study behavior or simply want to understand what drives human survival, this book redefines what it means to stay ready.

When the earth moves, what does your mind do first?
