Excellent book! I found the subject matter to be incredibly interesting although the book itself is not necessarily an easy read as some parts are quite dry and clinical.

So, who is a psychopath? Well, perhaps we've all got some of the psychopathic traits in our personality. And if we do, that might actually be a good thing! In fact, while reading the book you realize that being considered a psychopath isn't exactly the worst thing in the world. There are actually some traits that are admirable if you want to have a successful career etc.

Dutton covers off on personality traits, a theory that suggests that psychopathic traits might be the next step in evolutionary development, the breakdown of the psychopathic meter and that psychopaths and Tibetan monks actually have something in common! If any of that interests you, than there's a whole lot more in this book that will grab your attention!

Another reviewer mentioned that Dutton did not identify any women in this book that may have fit the psychopathic description....I'm not sure why this is. This is an area worth learning more about.
