Charisma: Gravity, the Savior Complex, and Charismatic Authority

By: Cooper, Paul

Some people walk into a room and the room leans toward them. This is a book about what that costs-on both sides.

Paul Cooper learned, as a child alone in the dark, to be certain of things with no one to check him. For twenty-five years, strangers tried to crown him for it. Charisma is the story of how he refused-and what the refusing cost. It is also an argument: the savior complex isn't grandiosity but three true thoughts in a row, with charisma as the accelerant-and the discipline a dangerously persuasive person needs to live safely beside himself is the same discipline all of us will need to live beside a superhumanly persuasive machine. Don't admire it. Inspect it. Check whether it holds.
