Presidential Historian and Best-Selling Author
Massachusetts
A brilliant storyteller, Doris Kearns Goodwin makes sense of the people and events of today by illustrating lessons learned from history and the country's greatest leaders.
One of the most recognized historians of the day, Doris Kearns Goodwin provides trenchant, informed and enthralling commentary on current events by demonstrating how history has answered similar questions. With a deft wit and an uncanny ability to weave stories that put you "right in the room" as history occurs, Goodwin offers extraordinary insight into the lives of the leaders who have shaped the United States.
Author of several best-selling books, Goodwin won the Pulitzer Prize for No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. As well, she penned a touching memoir, Wait Till Next Year, about a love of baseball she shared with her father. A contributor, both on and off the air, to the PBS documentaries LBJ, The Kennedys, FDR and Baseball, Goodwin is the person most turn to for a keen historical perspective on political and current events.
Leadership Lessons: Her most recent work, Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln, for which she won the 2006 Lincoln Prize, inspires business and political leaders of today by teaching Lincoln's quiet but powerful leadership qualities - including his wisdom in building and maintaining teams in the midst of critically trying circumstances and his ability to overcome incredible obstacles. Steven Spielberg is developing the #1 best-selling book into a movie.
