CNN has posted a video of my interview with Anderson Cooper last night. One BP commercial, lots of venom from an anti-Muslim militant, then my VERY pink tie!

I will be featured on The Glenn Beck Television show on Thursday, February 25th, along with Ben Sherwood and Joshua Ramo. The show is entitled “Three Friends, Three Cities, Three Bestsellers. One Message?” It features what Glenn calls his three favorite books from the last year: Josh’s THE AGE OF THE UNTHINKABLE. Ben’s THE SURVIVORS CLUB. And my book about American values, AMERICA’S PROPHET.

If you’re looking for a way to bring together believers and scientists, here’s a tip that could remind them of their commonality and save money, too: no food!
Fasting may be the one activity these days that unites the religious and the secular, the left and the right, Deepak Chopra and Glenn Beck.
As Muslims look back on a month of daytime fasts, Jews observe a 24-hour fast to observe the Day of Atonement, and Glenn Beck initiates a daylong fast to honor the founding fathers, the time seems ripe to ask: Does fasting work? Can it, as the prophets suggest, expiate our sins and bring us closer to God? Can it, as the yogis propose, purge our toxins and improve our sex lives? Can it, as researchers hypothesize, cure our jet lag and help us get pregnant?
In short, can fasting save the world?
