One study calls conservatives indecisive and inhibited. Another says liberals see more crises in the world and are pessimistic. The sweet spot might be in the middle. In our bitterly polarized society, liberals and conservatives not only argue over the right approaches for public policy but also do battle over which ideology more reliably produces private happiness. The left recently embraced an academic study that says right-wingers were whiny kids who grew into insecure adults, while conservatives trumpeted surveys showing that it's self-identified liberals who count as self-pitying and pessimistic. The latest salvo in the "Happiness Wars" came from the...

An outspoken voice for conservative issues, family rights and the need for godly reverence, Michael Medved is one of the few famed examiners of pop culture and the political scene whose perspective is distinctly Right-minded. But that was not always the case. A self-proclaimed liberal activist during his time of matriculation at Yale during the turbulent ‘60s, Medved once pictured the Left as the sole protectorate of mankind. Endorsed nowadays by the likes of Rush Limbaugh, William Bennett and Dr. Laura Schlessinger, conversely his friendships have also included Hillary Rodham and others who went on to affect the liberal climate...

Sitting in a radio studio towering above New York City in the Empire State Building was the highlight of one of my many trips to New York. But not because of the view. No, it wasn’t what I saw that blew my socks off, it was what I heard. Michael Medved was hosting his popular radio show (normally done from KTTH in Seattle) from the grand building while attending the same convention I was in town for, and I had tagged along to watch this great master of history, entertainment and the pop culture in action. He used no notes,...

The question, in its many variations a staple of Manhattan dinner parties, is invariably posed with bitter bewilderment: "How could anyone with a shred of decency call himself a conservative?" Alas, it is a question the book business has done a singularly poor job of answering. While publishers have fattened their bottom lines offering up red meat to true believers, the steady stream of invective from both left ("Liars!") and right ("Traitors!") has served only to widen the nation's yawning ideological divide. This is what makes Michael Medved's provocative memoir, "Right Turns: Unconventional Lessons from a Controversial Life," so welcome....

Every week, more than two million Americans tune in to The Michael Medved Show to hear Medved's thoughts on politics and entertainment. On the show, Medved taps his varied experiences as a liberal political operative, advertising executive, screenwriter, movie critic, synagogue president, and nine-time author to entertain and educate his radio listeners. Right Turns: Unconventional Lessons from a Controversial Life tells Medved's story of his political and religious journeys from left to right, as well as his quest for authenticity and his growing appreciation for America's core traditional values of family, prayer, and self-reliance. Right Turns is divided into simple...

Michael Medved was voted "most radical" in his Los Angeles high school class, then graduated from Yale and attended Yale Law School, where he knew Bill and Hillary Clinton. He was an anti-war protester and backer of Eugene McCarthy, after which he worked for Robert Kennedy's Presidential campaign. He was at the Ambassador Hotel when Kennedy was shot. Medved also took part in George McGovern's 1972 Presidential run, and while living in Berkeley, California worked briefly for the re-election of Congressman Ron Dellums, described as the "angriest black radical in Congress." Medved eventually became a film critic, and for 12...
