Find them. Celebrate them. Become one of them.

Tag, you’re “It.”

Thom Hartmann is a progressive national and internationally syndicated radio and TV talk show host whose shows are available every weekday in more than a half-billion homes in 104 countries worldwide. He’s the New York Times best-selling, four-time Project Censored Award–winning author of twenty-four books in print in seventeen languages on five continents.

Thom has written extensively about culture, ecology, psychology, politics, and economics. His most well-known book on the intersection of ecology and anthropology, The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight , inspired Leonardo DiCaprio to make the movie The 11th Hour (in which Thom appears). His book Attention Deficit Disorder: A Different Perception sparked a national debate, both in the psychology/psychiatry community and among the general public, on ADD/ADHD and neurological differences ranging from giftedness to autism. His book Rebooting the American Dream so inspired Senator Bernie Sanders that he wrote a cover letter to accompany the delivery of the book to his ninety-nine colleagues in the United States Senate and he read from it extensively on the floor of the Senate during his famous filibuster.

In addition to being an accomplished writer, Thom and his wife, Louise, have also started a number of successful businesses and a community and school for abused children. Thom’s also helped start programs ranging from famine relief to medical centers to schools on four continents.

He and Louise live on a boat in Washington, DC, with their attack cat, Higgins.
