About

Part memoir and part leadership manifesto, Chasing Catastrophe empowers those who are ready to work hard to overcome adversity and achieve their goals. In this book, Rick Leventhal shares some incredible highlights and some of the most challenging moments of a career spanning thirty-five years. Rick shares what it was like to sleep in the dirt in the Iraqi desert, to stand at the base of the Twin Towers in flames and run from the smoke cloud when they fell, to face a Category 5 hurricane, to be on scene when one of America's most cheered and respected race car drivers crashed and died, to hurry to the frozen Hudson River from Midtown after Captain Sully landed his plane on its icy surface, to separate fact from fiction on the fly and figure out what could be reported, and what couldn't, and to be in awe meeting some of the most famous people in America, only to learn they were fans of his work.
