An inside look at the most successful president of modern times. What makes a good White House memoir? The right mix of personal stories, insight on the president, discussion of policy and historical events, and crazy, colorful anecdotes that capture the reader's attention. Inside the Reagan White House has all this—plus a vivid take on the Reagan assassination attempt, Gorbachev and the Reykjavik summit, Ollie North and the Contras, the 1988 Bush-Dukakis contest—and other critical moments of that era. Original insight on Ronald Reagan, as well as discussions of cabinet members and others, are interspersed with personal anecdotes, off-hand comments, and unique family details that historians and general audiences will love. On the colorful side, the action moves from movie stars to Soviet spies to (literal) knife fights, neo-Nazis, plain old Nazis, intimate affairs, fights on planes, and con men chased by INTERPOL. And at the heart of the story are the thousands of dedicated, patriotic Americans who helped Ronald Reagan as he worked to push back against the Soviet Union, promote democracy, improve trade, lower taxes, and reduce the size and scope of government.Show book

It's hard to imagine our world without its stars and celebrity geniuses—they become a part of our culture and history, seeming permanent and preordained. But as Cass Sunstein shows in this startling book, that is far from the case. Focusing on both famous and forgotten (or simply overlooked) artists and luminaries in music, literature, business, science, politics, and other fields, he explores why some individuals become famous and others don't and offers a new understanding of the role of greatness, luck, and contingency in the achievement of fame. First, Sunstein examines recent research—on informational cascades, power laws, network effects, and group polarization—to probe the question of how people become famous. He explores what ends up in the history books, in the great religious texts, and in the literary canon—and how that changes radically over time. He delves into the rich and entertaining stories of a diverse cast of famous characters, from John Keats, William Blake, and Jane Austen to Bob Dylan, Ayn Rand, and Stan Lee—as well as John, Paul, George, and Ringo. How to Become Famous takes you on a fun, captivating, and at times profound journey that will forever change your perspective on the latest celebrity's "fifteen minutes," the nature of memory, success and failure in business, and our enduring fascination with fame.Show book
In the modern world, understanding the foundations of global influence is essential to comprehend how power operates on the world stage. Power, in this context, refers to the ability of an actor—be it a nation-state, corporation, or non-governmental organization—to shape outcomes and direct events. Global influence manifests through various mechanisms, from economic leverage to cultural dominance, from military might to technological advancement. These power structures are not static; they evolve and adapt, shifting with changing political landscapes, societal developments, and technological innovations. To better understand these complexities, it is vital to define and explore the different types of power that govern global interactions. The concept of power can be categorized into three primary types: hard power, soft power, and smart power. Hard power is the use of force or coercion, such as military action or economic sanctions, to achieve a desired outcome. It is often associated with traditional methods of exerting influence. Soft power, on the other hand, involves shaping preferences and values through non-coercive means, such as diplomacy, cultural exports, or the appeal of ideologies. Smart power combines both hard and soft power, strategically applying each to achieve desired objectives in a rapidly changing world. The Decahedron Model is introduced as a comprehensive framework for analyzing global influence. This model identifies ten pillars of power that work together to create a complex web of interconnected global forces. These pillars include political, economic, military, technological, media, cultural, environmental, psychological, strategic, and financial influence. The Decahedron’s unique approach emphasizes that these pillars do not operate in isolation; rather, they interact and reinforce one another, creating a dynamic system where shifts in one pillar can lead to ripple effects throughout the entire global system.Show book
