Media Partner of ABC Television Group, GreenRightNow.com recognized The Watchman's Rattle as one of the best "green" books of 2010.

Bart Alexander, Chief Corporate Responsibility Officer for Molson Coors, said that The Watchman's Rattle "is a wakeup call book about what political, economic, and social challenges the world may be facing."

Inc. Magazine said The Watchman's Rattle is "a fascinating study on how the brain works and how, in the face of complex challenges, our society can survive despite our intelligence being outpaced by our problems."

The book was distributed in 20 countries.

2011

The success of The Watchman's Rattle led to a nationally syndicated weekly radio news program called The Costa Report in 2011.
