This Book Will Save Your Life
Book • 2009
In 'Emergency', Neil Strauss recounts his three-year journey to equip himself with the skills necessary to survive in a world fraught with dangers such as terrorist attacks, natural disasters, economic collapse, and domestic crackdowns.

Starting from a position of vulnerability, Strauss learns various survival skills including wilderness survival, urban evasion tactics, weapons training, and sustainable living.

He meets with a diverse range of individuals, from backwoods militias to billionaires, to gather knowledge and strategies for survival.

The book is a mix of humor, personal growth, and practical advice, ultimately shifting from a focus on personal escape to a commitment to helping others in times of crisis.
