What the author was going on about and what I particularly liked here is that there is nothing simple about human mind. A verifiable psychopath can have a bunch of traits that anyone can have (probably not all at the same time, still, a bunch of those). A healthy person can have exactly same things.
For example, if you meditate, theta waves will be more often appearing on your EEG. Psychopaths (according to this researcher) have theta waves more often as well. Does meditation make you psychopathi...more

Mostly, this book was too technical for my personal reading-taste....but I think I got the basic point: WE ARE ALL A LITTLE BIT CRAZY!
Everyone can be a psychopath: Business leaders, CEO's, sales people, traders, athletes, soldiers, TV & Radio workers, journalists, lawyers, surgeons, etc. Also---its more nature than a nurture thing.

So, this was disappointing.
In sum, this book is about how some psychopathic qualities are actually really helpful and positive and incorporating them into your life can make you succeed. They can reduce anxiety and depression, make you more productive, and even make your more empathetic (although if you're a true psychopath with sadistic tendencies, the empathy payout is getting to enjoy the suffering of your victims more ... so, this isn't a heartwarming 'hope for psychopaths' book).

In so far as dishing out some interesting facts on psychopathy this was a decent read. I'm all for learning the on/off switches that control what we define as our personalities and the book delivers on that front.

Psychopaths are not misunderstood geniuses with much to teach us about how to be human, as the author contends. They are murderers, rapists, child molesters and criminals of every stripe. They are Wall Street cheats and ruthless dictators. They are cult leaders, con men and reprobates.

Ironically, both psychopaths and Tibetan monks detect deep emotions that are invisible to others. Psychopaths are much better at recognizing “those telltale signs in the gait of traumatized assault victims” notes The Wisdom of Psychopaths author, Kevin Dutton. Tibetan monks, steeped in meditative practice, are also especially adept at reading feelings that are hidden from the rest of us, Paul Ekman discovered. Ekman, is the preeminent expert on lying and on the six universally expressed emotions...more

If you’ve ever thought your boss is a psychopath, you may be right, according to psychologist Kevin Dutton. And if you’re a top-flight markets trader, captain of industry, surgeon or soldier, you may well be one yourself. But that’s OK, says Dutton. It may even be optimal.

The Wisdom of Psychopaths begins with a few strikes against it. First, one suspects the publisher commissioned it as a knockoff of Jon Ronson's The Psychopath Test, published a year earlier. Second, it's vaguely framed as a self-help book, although it never really commits to the concept.
Regardless of the publisher's intention, Kevin Dutton turns out to hold the better credentials—he's a research psychologist at Oxford University—and acquits himself well as a nonfiction author. (He can be forgive...more

Last autumn, I came across this article in the Globe and Mail which includes an interview with author Kevin Dutton and an overview of his book The Wisdom of Psychopaths. I felt a dropping in my stomach as I read it, because at the end of the article were two lists: one denoting leadership traits, the other the corresponding psychopathic traits. The first list came fairly close to describing my father. The second list pretty much nailed him. I sat in a mild state of shock for a few minutes, then...more

This rating has a lot to do with my expectations, but also with the fact that I don't agree with the author's view. I'm a psychology student and like many people I'm interested in psychopaths and how their minds work. My roommate got this book from one of her friends and because she gave up on it, I ended up reading it to see how it is. So, I went almost blindly in this one, not knowing what to expect. From the title and the synopsis, I was expecting stories about popular psychopaths, like Ted B...more

Actually this is even better than I anticipated, in that the author directly argues his point with some decent supporting evidence. Other books that are trying to make an interesting point (e.g. Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking) often don't really go anywhere other than trying to blow your mind with neat and quirky things that studies have found. And what is the author's point? That psychopaths are useful in some areas of society, and that people can do better at some things if they...more

The author is 'that guy'. He has some vague attempts at being self deprecating but just can't hide how much he wants to make love to himself--not in the normal masturbatory way, but in a creepy doppelganger gangbang sort of way.
Also, the book reads like an excessively long blog post.
The article on this book from Scientific American Mind covers anything you might want to learn without the nausea and the bitter taste of haterade.

If you choose to read this book, I would advise regarding it completely as entertainment. Don’t expect it to reveal too much about the issue of psychopathy—it tells the reader much more about the author than about this mental condition.

Excellent! Dr. Dutton examines the phenomenon of the psychopathic personality from every angle, positive and negative, and makes the resulting study lively, fascinating, and serious but also often funny. He explores the latest science at the time of writing (2009) seeking explanations of how and why some people are psychopaths, how they think and behave, and even undergoes an experimental procedure with a trancranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) machine - one I'd love to try too - to have his own...more

This fascinating book made me think and reevaluate, which is as high a compliment as I can pay. I was originally drawn to it by an interview with the author in the Toronto Globe and Mail. Dr. Dutton said that not all psychopaths are dangerous (which I already knew; many of them were bank traders who drove us to the Great Recession), but he took it further: he stated that in some circumstances, being a psychopath is an advantage. Many psychopaths are extremely successful, as is shown by a study t...more

Don't be fooled by the title. Although this book does take a look into how convicted and named 'psychopaths' go about doing what they do, this is really a book about how to get what you want. Psychopaths just seem to not mind overstepping the boundary of the sanctity of human life. Runners up? Why, CEO's, of course. The breakdown covers traits of those who are successful at what they do. PK's are hyper-focused, usually charismatic, and don't let things like morality, being good or nice, get in t...more

Kevin Dutton paints a great picture on how personality traits overlap between those we deem 'successful' and psychopaths.

It seems that while he was driven to succeed, he was undeterred by failure, and his spirits never sank.

The brilliant thing about psychopaths is that they are quite rational, and sometimes, too rational.
Fear is useless because it is based on potential outcomes, many of which may not happen and have definitely not happened in real life (right now).
The brain goes into a fast forward mode - and you lose sight of the present.

“It's a poem about moths. But it's also a poem about psychopaths.
I get it copied. And stick it in a frame.
And now it glowers redoubtably above my desk:an entomological keepsake of the horizons of existence.
And the brutal, star-crossed wisdom of those who seek them out.
i was talking to a moth
the other evening
he was trying to break into
an electric bulb
and fry himself on the wires
why do you fellows
pull this stunt i asked him
because it is the conventional
thing for moths or why
if that had been an uncovered
candle instead of an electric
light bulb you would
now be a small unsightly cinder
have you no sense
plenty of it he answered
but at times we get tired
of using it
we get bored with routine
and crave beauty
and excitement
fire is beautiful
and we know that if we get
too close it will kill us
but what does that matter
it is better to be happy
for a moment
and be burned up with beauty
than to live a long time
and be bored all the while
so we wad all our life up
into one little roll
and then we shoot the roll
that is what life is for
it is better to be part of beauty
our attitude toward life
is come easy go easy
we are like human beings
used to be before they became
too civilized to enjoy themselves
and before i could argue him
out of his philosophy
he went and immolated himself
on a patent cigar lighter
i do not agree with him
myself i would rather have
half the happiness and twice
the longevity
but at the same time i wish
there was something i wanted
as badly as he wanted to fry himself” — 26 likes
