The Wisdom of Psychopaths: What Saints, Spies, and Serial Killers Can Teach Us About Success by Kevin Dutton

3.0

Psychopaths exhibit a marked absence of feeling, a singular lack of understanding of others.

I don't know the difference between a psychopath and a sociopath. And in the book [b:Confessions of a Sociopath: A Life Spent Hiding in Plain Sight|15841837|Confessions of a Sociopath A Life Spent Hiding in Plain Sight|M.E. Thomas|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1487543654l/15841837._SY75_.jpg|21583841] it said many were CEOs of companies and presidents even POTUS and here they said the same thing.

The majority of psychopaths do emotional damage instead of physical damage.


Supposedly Paul from the Bible is a psychopath.

I guess psychopaths do have empathy they just either know how to turn it on or off or it's just a different kind of empathy but they do feel it however these are for their own personal gain and pleasure.



I like the book but I was just a little bit distracted and couldn't quite get into it I don't know if that was because of me moving to Japan or because of the writing style.
