“Friedman doesn’t just report on events; he helps shape them.”
— Foreign Policy magazine
Thomas Friedman is the winner of three Pulitzer Prizes and has covered monumental stories from around the globe for The New York Times since 1981. Vanity Fair called him “the country’s best newspaper columnist.”
Friedman’s “The World is Flat” sold over four million copies and won the inaugural Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award. In 2012 Friedman updated his National Book Award-winner, “From Beirut to Jerusalem,” adding a fresh discussion of the Arab Awakenings and Arab/Israeli relations in a new preface and afterword.
His most recent book, “Thank You For Being Late: How to Find a Job, Run a Country, and Keep Your Head in an Age of Acceleration,” will be released this fall.
Ranked #2 on The Wall Street Journal’s list of "influential business thinkers," named to the 2011 Thinkers50 and the 2013 list of Foreign Policy’s Top Global Thinkers, and considered one of “America's Best Leaders” by US News & World Report, Friedman is a frequent guest on programs such as “Meet The Press,” “Morning Joe” and “Charlie Rose.”
