WORST-CASE SCENARIO SURVIVAL HANDBOOKS (Buy them!) I am the author or co-author of 18 books, among them the worldwide best-selling The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook series (Chronicle Books). The Worst-Case books offer readers real-world (though often tongue-in-cheek) advice on surviving worst-case situations that they might—but hopefully won’t—encounter: everything from “how to fend off a shark” and “how to survive a nuclear attack” to “how to avoid the Freshman 15” and “how to determine if your date is an axe murderer” One recent reviewer said of the series: “We’ve finally found the WMDs: The Worst-Case books are Weapons of Mass Distraction!”  | THE ESCAPE ARTISTS (Buy it!) What if you prefer big game to the rat race? What if your life’s ambition is to be a professional Trekkie, a deep sea diver, or a major leaguer? What if you want to devote your life to the traveling circus, tracking drug smugglers, or river rafting?
If you want an extraordinary life, you can have it – just follow your passion. In THE ESCAPE ARTISTS you'll meet the unconventionally employed who have sworn off jobs in rigid boxes for risk, reward, and even danger – yet still have thriving careers and mostly-steady paychecks.
|  | LUCK (Buy it!)
AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT (Villard/Random House, 2003) is a non-fiction book about the phenomenon of luck, as examined through 10 stories of people who have been extraordinarily lucky—or unlucky, from lottery winners to lightning strike victims. USA Today called my narratives “thrilling” and says that “reading the bad-luck stories is like witnessing a car crash in slow motion.” The book is now in paperback.
|  | Are you ready to decide the undecideable? Is that even a word? BAD VS. WORSE helps you choose the unchooseable. Or something. |  | SPACE TOURIST'S (Buy it!)
I am the co-author of THE SPACE TOURIST'S HANDBOOK (Quirk, 2005), a non-ficiton book about space travel and the burgeoning space tourism industry. My co-author is Eric Anderson, CEO of Space Adventures, the company that sends rich tourists into space. You can go too, after your dot-com goes public and you have $30 million in spare change.
