In Survival+, he sets out a thoughtful and provocative vision of our future that should not be missed." Michael J.

Nobody puts out a consistently wiser, truer, better-written message, day after day, than CHS. His views on surviving the hardships we face in economy and society are of the highest value and could not be more timely or astute."
