Synopsis

"A physical orgasm is a blissful body experience. An intellectual orgasm is a blissful mental experience. The record seems to show that it is easier to have a physical orgasm than an orgasm of the mind."

Maurice Saatchi is one of the few genuine iconoclasts. In an age of polite conformists and faux-contrarians, Saatchi can justifiably claim to have revolutionised British business and politics through his willingness to question received wisdom. In Orgasm he offers readers an unforgettable mental experience as he debunks some of the modern world's most fondly held delusions.

In chapters ranging from etiquette to geopolitics, Saatchi takes on a series of contemporary shibboleths, among them "Dinner Parties Are Fun", "Conservatives Are Cruel", and "We Will Rest in Peace". As thought-provoking as it is witty and pugnacious, Orgasm is an essential guide to seeing and thinking more clearly.

À propos de l'auteur

Maurice Saatchi graduated from the London School of Economics, where he won the MacMillan Prize for Sociology. He went on to become a Governor of LSE. During his time in advertising he transformed the industry, taking Saatchi & Saatchi from an eleven-staff company to being the biggest agency globally. He worked with Margaret Thatcher and John Major on four consecutive General Election victories. In 1996 he entered the House of Lords, and later became Shadow Minister for the Treasury and the Cabinet Office. He became Co-Chairman of the Conservative Party, and Chairman of the Centre for Policy Studies. His campaigning efforts in Parliament led to the passage of the 2016 Access to Medical Treatments (Innovation) Act. He is the author of Brutal Simplicity of Thought: How It Changed the World and Do Not Resuscitate: The Life and Afterlife of Maurice Saatchi (the latter also published by Eris).
