From Screwed:
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
—Michael Toms, Founding President, New Dimensions World Broadcasting Network and author of A Time For Choices: Deep Dialogues for Deep Democracy
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
—Mike Farrell, actor, political activist, and author of Just Call Me Mike and Of Mule and Man
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
—Dean Baker, economist and author of Plunder and Blunder, False Profits, and Taking Economics Seriously

All the focus on overtly narcissistic men like Donald Trump feels dangerous for women to me. Most people aren't aware (I wasn't until this month) that not every man with NPD is as unable to disguise his sociopathy as is Trump. I don't like Trump, but at least we can see him coming, and for that, I'm grateful. I think that's why I have so much more anger towards Bill Clinton than I do towards Trump. Clinton represents himself as a man who cares about the vulnerable and other people's feelings. Covert Narcissists like Bill Clinton are scarier, because they are charming and better at putting forward a public image that makes people trust them. They can fake empathy, but they can't feel it, so, they hurt people, and they do it without any guilt. They don't have a conscience but they are able to convince others that they do, which is what makes them toxic. It causes more damage, especially for those who are trusting and empathetic, as women tend more often to be in a patriarchal culture.
