- What insurance do you need in the more chaotic weather era?
- How to invest as the world decarbonizes?
- What to grow in your garden as backup food?
- Where to find hope in a fast-changing world that leaves people anxious, depressed and adrift.
With the help of 50 experts on climate, finance, agriculture, psychology, and emergency preparedness, David brings his trademark clarity, authority, and even humor to an unexplored subject: preparing your family, your home, your business, and your life for our planet’s chaotic future.
