Pete Earley Biography
Pete Earley is a storyteller who has penned 22 books, including four New York Times bestsellers, including "The Hot House" and the 2007 Pulitzer Prize finalist "Crazy: A Father’s Search Through America’s Mental Health Madness."
After a 14-year career in journalism, including six years at The Washington Post, Earley became a full-time author with a commitment to expose the stories that entertain and surprise. He later began writing novels for fun.
His honest nonfiction reporting and compelling writing helped him garner success as one of few authors with “the power to introduce new ideas and give them currency,” according to Washingtonian magazine.
When Earley’s life was turned upside down by the events recounted in his book "Crazy," he joined the National Alliance on Mental Illness to advocate for strong mental health reform on the public stage. He was invited by President Obama to speak at a White House summit about his son’s illness and recovery.
A former Washington Post reporter, Earley has appeared five times before the U.S. Congress to testify about the need for mental health reform, has spoken in 49 states, and addressed legislators in five foreign countries.

Pete Earley Speaking Topics
CRAZY: A Father’s Search Through America’s Mental Health Madness describes Pete’s attempts to help his son, Mike, after he is denied treatment during a psychotic break and is arrested. Pete explains why jails and prisons have become our new asylums, why this is wrong and what we need to do to turn mental health back into a health issue instead of continuing to make it a criminal justice problem.
Hopeless No More is intended as a follow-up talk to groups that already have heard CRAZY. Pete describes successful recovery programs that he has visited during his travels including, Housing First, ACT teams, Crisis Intervention Training, Mental Health Courts and Peer to Peer support.
Inside A Traitor’s Mind – Pete is the only journalist to have interviewed two of our nation’s most notorious traitors – John Walker Jr., head of the 1980s Family of Spies espionage ring; and Aldrich Ames, the CIA turncoat who paralyzed U.S. intelligence in Moscow during the height of the Cold War. He is also the biographer of the late Sergei Tretyakov, the highest-ranking Russian intelligence officer ever to defect to our side. Pete describes why Walker and Ames betrayed America and how their treachery differed from Russia’s top Judas in this true-life spy speech.
“Minds on the Edge” Program – Minds on the Edge is an hour-long, Fred Friendly program that explores our current mental health and legal system. After showing the PBS broadcast, Pete will lead a discussion with your local officials to discuss how the issues in the broadcast are being addressed in your area.

Every aspect of this process has been stellar. The AAE team made setting up this engagement so easy. And Pete's presentation was so moving and informative. I had several people say it was the best presentation they'd ever heard at Akron Roundtable. Thank you!
