Much like me, you've probably called a boss, an ex-friend, maybe even a stranger a psychopath or its sister term, a sociopath. But what do these terms really mean and how would you truly know if the person in front of you was a psychopath?
Jon Ronson travels down the rabbit hole where he encounters Scientologists, LSD wielding psychologists, psychopathic CEO's and a whole network of individuals looking to find a cure for the incurable.
The Psychopath Test, written like an edge of the seat Law and Order episode, had me wondering if psychopaths really did rule the world or just the prison yard. Full of handy information and facts about psychiatry that will surprise and possibly shock the reader, Psychopath Test is a book worth picking up.
