Left Coast visitors to California, beware. When making your next trip, be sure to carry water (but not in a plastic bottle), bring plenty of batteries to keep the lights on (thanks to forecast blackouts from renewable energy mandates), and stay away from bureaucrats who want to ban practically all you have and tax your money away.

Policymakers have transformed California from a land of opportunity and prosperity for all into a real-life horror film where freedom and liberty is being choked by state government. Politicians including California's Kamala Harris are being inspired by what Gov. Gavin Newsom calls "The California Way" to promote these bad ideas from coast to coast.

The California Left Coast Survivor's Guide from the Pacific Research Institute gives readers the facts and knowhow needed to stop California ideology from taking root nationwide. Inspired by the handbooks that have prepared eager adventurers for years, the book provides lessons on how to survive the progressive wilderness creeping in from California. Readers will learn how to avoid Left Coast mistakes in their states and instead follow the path to prosperity through lower taxes, entrepreneurship, less government red tape, and greater opportunity for all.
