Author Conversations About Climate Change With David Pogue And Downsizing With The Minimalists

Today, conversations with a few of our favorite authors about their most recent works.

First up, Emmy award winning science and technology writer David Pogue. His new book "How To Prepare For Climate Change" looks at what we all need to do to be ready for the impacts for climate change.

Even here in Northeast Ohio, where we don’t necessarily have to worry about hurricanes, or wildfires.

Later in the program,  friends and writers Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus are collectively known as "The Minimalists".

Some of may have heard of them because of their website, books, podcast, and Netflix films. By teaching people to live with less, these men are credited with helping more than 20 million people live more meaningful lives. But they learned the lessons they teach, through their own pain  from divorce to depression to bankruptcy.

Their new book, "Love People, Use Things: Because the Opposite Never Works", is their latest guide to better living for the rest of us.
