The Best of the Thom Hartmann Program features excerpts from some of Thom's classic Air America shows, including conversations with best-selling authors from across the political spectrum.
In Volume 2: Our Living History, Thom brings his deep grounding in American history to bear on current events. He explores ripped-from-the-headlines topics like the right-wing war on the middle class, the dangers of privatizing the military and healthcare, the threat of theocracy, the legacy of the American labor Movement, and what those Republican tax cuts really mean.
In this volume Thom talks to Chris Hedges (author of War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning), Kevin Phillips, and Paul Krugman.

" Although it is not as good as Lakoff's "Don't Think of an Elephant" it is a good read. "
" Thom explains the major ways we communicate with each other with interesting side notes from his advertising and NLP training. "
" Talks about Neuro_Lingusitic Programming and the language of politics. How to communicate political ideas. Excellent book. "
" Great explanation of how politicians sell us policy that is bad for us. A bit heavy on the progressive rhetoric however. "
" Great book on deciphering political language and how to communicate it properly. "
" Very edifying... so much so that I think I'll need to re-read it in the near future. This piece does much to explain some of linguist George Lakoff's work, but from a psychological perspective. "
" I think this is an important book though I often found it horrifying and discouraging. Sometimes funny. Sometimes uplifting. Always informative. "
