Recommended Reading
We recommend that people try to read two to five of these books.
Do NOT read them all.
Read enough to wrap your mind around the situation. Then put the books down and start making the appropriate changes in your life that will help you become more resilient to this future. Start with the easy ones. Baby steps. Step one is to decide you’ve read enough and it is now time to act.
One of our members, Frank Kaminski, has also been reviewing books about peak oil for awhile now. You can check out his work in the Book Reviews section.
