I am so delighted to be here again talking to you, Kate.

I always have such a blast.

I think this is our sixth conversation.

Well, my first book was Sex with Kings, and I looked at the sex lives of European royals.

The second book was Sex with the Queen.

My third book was pretty much Sex in the Vatican.

And then I did a lot of other books.

And then this came out in 2020, Sex with Presidents.

I figured I should turn my attention to US history and really did a deep dive.

I'm more expert on European history, and I was shocked to learn a lot about my own nation's history.

Yes, it's true.

There's actually a psychological disorder.

Really?

It was accepted as such by the psychiatric community in 2009 called –

hubris disorder.

Unlike most mental illnesses, which develop in early adulthood, this one is triggered by wielding power over a period of time.

And when that individual loses power, the illness subsides.

Oh, my God.

feeling that you're a kind of God, only you can save the nation.

The interesting thing about it is it affects women as well as men.
