Abracadabra In some ways, I think my greatest value-add as a collaborative writer is not that I’ve written three books. It’s not that I was a journalist for a few decades and so I understand the difference between the story you want to tell and the story readers want to hear. It’s not even that I write extraordinarily rapidly because for the last 27 or so years, I have written professionally EVERY SINGLE DAY.

me making money talking about my book for *one hour* ICYMI: These days, I help very successful people write very successful books. I'm like Winston Wolf from Pulp Fiction but for books. It's slightly less gory. The first questions I get are about the math of business books. How it all adds up and makes sense in the end. The work that goes into them. (Years.) How it squares with the advances that get paid. Anything six figures is a great deal. Yes there are $500,000-$1,000,000 deals.

Me walking into my first ever book launch in San Fracisco, via Dylan Tweney and Wired. One of my favorite moments and pictures ever. ❤️ Am I the only bookseller whose favorite section is “business”? Maybe. Am I the only person who can’t sleep on a red-eye if I start a business book, because I have to know how the CEO saved the company? Probably. Am I the only one who wishes publishers did special “sprayed edge” editions for business books instead of just sexy dragon novels? DEFINITELY.

Prehistoric men hunted; prehistoric women gathered. At least this is the standard narrative written by and about men to the exclusion of women. The idea of “Man the Hunter” runs deep within anthropology, convincing people that hunting made us human, only men did the hunting, and therefore evolutionary forces must only have acted upon men. Such depictions are found not only in media, but in museums and introductory anthropology textbooks, too.
