Laura Schlessinger Speaker Biography

Aired on more than 200 radio stations across the United States, The Dr. Laura Schlessinger Show is one of the most listened to radio programs in all of North America. Dr. Schlessinger, with her intelligence and humor, has been helping viewers tackle their family, child and marriage concerns for over a decade.

A phenomenon in the world of broadcasting on national radio, Dr. Laura occupies a unique niche wide enough to accommodate 18 million listeners. On television, her show debuted in September 2000 on 175 stations across the United States. Contradicting conventional wisdom that syndicated talk radio was a man's game, Dr. Laura's one-of-a-kind wit and wisdom swept the country in record time. Within four short years she was sharing the top rung of the ladder with none other than Rush Limbaugh and became the first woman to ever win a Marconi Award.

In typical "break-through" fashion, Dr. Laura has revolutionized syndicated talk radio and television, bypassing the tried and true topics of politics, sports and relationships, to establish a lively and provocative daily forum for the discussion of morals, ethics and values in everyday behavior and circumstances. In so doing, she has also attracted the first-ever national talk show audience almost evenly divided between men and women.

With intelligence, courage and wit, this extremely effective communicator has become the dominant voice of a dominant generation of Americans. Dr. Laura's increasing emphasis on right and wrong and the importance of one's consistently striving to do the right thing reflect her own ongoing spiritual evolution from life-long atheist to Orthodox Jew within the last few years. As she shares her radio callers' struggles with their moral dilemmas and ethical quandaries, she calls on the traditional wisdom of the Ten Commandments as her reference point for guiding and educating them.

Dr. Laura?s new book, Ten Stupid Things Couples Do To Mess Up Their Relationships examines the ways in which women and men hurt themselves and one another in their romantic relationships. Using real-life situations from her radio call-in show and from listeners' letters, Dr. Laura offers firm yet compassionate advice on how to find greater happiness in life and in love. Dr. Laura?s best seller, The Ten Commandments: The Significance of God's Laws in Everyday Life takes a contemporary look at the foundation of Judeo-Christian tradition and demonstrates the relevance of the Commandments in our lives 4000 years later. Dr. Laura is also the author of the best-selling book, Ten Stupid Things Women Do To Mess Up Their Lives and Ten Stupid Things Men Do To Mess Up Their Lives. 901-754-9404
