Loose Animals and Drinking With St. Nick | Guests: Kara Cooney & Michael P. Foley

In When Women Ruled the World (published by National Geographic), celebrated Egyptologist and UCLA professor Kara Cooney takes readers on a riveting journey through the lives of six remarkable female pharaohs — Merneith, Neferusobek, Hatshepsut, Nefertiti, Tawosret and Cleopatra — rulers who wielded the most significant power, despite their gender.

“Ancient Egypt is an anomaly as the only land that consistently demanded the rule of women to keep its regime in working order, safe from discord, and on the surest possible footing — particularly when a crisis was underway,” explains Cooney in the book’s introduction. While this does not mean that ancient Egypt treated women more fairly than other complex societies, it did utilize female power to avoid war and to maintain order. As Cooney explains, women “rule pragmatically; they don’t hog all the credit. Society won’t let them … In Egypt such women were the salvation for people again and again.”

WIN BIGLY

Persuasion in a World Where Facts Don’t Matter

By: Scott Adams

In the summer of 2015, Scott Adams was in the middle of an unplanned career pivot from “guy who created the Dilbert comic” to a maverick political pundit. A week after Nate Silver put Trump’s odds at 2% in his FiveThirtyEight.com blog, Adams predicted on his own blog that Trump had a 98% chance of winning the presidency based on his persuasion skills. Now Adams explains how he knew so early that Trump wasn’t simply a lucky clown, taking readers inside one of the most important perceptual shifts in the history of humankind.

In the paperback edition of his New York Times Bestseller, WIN BIGLY: Persuasion in a World Where Facts Don’t Matter (Portfolio, October 30, 2018), Adams draws upon his background in hypnosis, persuasion and business to reveal the method in Trump's supposed madness, painting him as a “Master Persuader” who intentionally flipped the political narrative on its head. With the addition of a “one-year-later” afterword, Adams deconstructs the tactics Trump used to persuade his way to the White House, including:

SCOTT ADAMS is the creator of Dilbert, one of the most popular comic strips of all time. He has been a full-time cartoonist since 1995, after 16 years working in the technology realm at a major bank and later a phone company. His many bestsellers include The Dilbert Principle, Dogbert's Top Secret Management Handbook, and How To Fail At Almost Everything And Still Win Big. He is co-founder of WhenHub. He lives outside of San Francisco. For more on Adams, visit www.blog.dilbert.com, and be sure to follow him on Twitter, @ScottAdamsSays.
