​The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook (20th Anniversary Edition) is on sale!

Other random items:

The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Experience was recently at the Fleet Science Center in San Diego! (Now closed, I think.)

Check out this interview I did on Australian Radio; some dude got stuck in an elevator. We also discussed shark attacks, naturally. 
​
I was recently interviewed for the YouTube Channel of Strategic Wealth Preservation 

For a while I was doing a blog called Housebound which was mentioned in the Washington Post.
A chef's tasting of my published work. Visit my Amazon page for more information and to purchase copies. I can't force you to buy  actual paper books--and I know e-books are the future blah blah blah--but just remember this old saying: e-books save trees but starve authors. Just kidding! Sort of. Actually, I'm not.
(Non-Fake) News:
October, 2023 brings the long-awaited Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Apocalypse. You know, if we make it. 

​I was honored with the Cicero Award for best Commencement Speech of the Year, for my introduction of Lin-Manuel Miranda (you may have heard of him) by Penn Provost Vince Price. It's not an Oscar, but for a speechwriter it's kind of cool.
