The World

When there’s a mini-mall on every corner, food stocked in every grocery store, and every creature comfort just a short jaunt away, it’s hard to believe that our world could ever crumble. But our next guest Neil Strauss looks at 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, and the economic downturn and sees a world on the edge. He wrote a book called ‘Emergency: This Book Will Save Your Life’ and he joins us with tips on how to survive any global meltdown.
