In this madcap journey, a bestselling journalist investigates psychopaths and the industry of doctors, scientists, and everyone else who studies them.
The Psychopath Test is a fascinating journey through the minds of madness. Jon Ronson's exploration of a potential hoax being played on the world's top neurologists takes him, unexpectedly, into the heart of the madness industry. An influential psychologist who is convinced that many important CEOs and politicians are, in fact, psychopaths teaches Ronson how to spot these high-flying individuals by looking out for little telltale verbal and nonverbal clues. And so Ronson, armed with his new psychopath-spotting abilities, enters the corridors of power. He spends time with a death-squad leader institutionalized for mortgage fraud in Coxsackie, New York; a legendary CEO whose psychopathy has been speculated about in the press; and a patient in an asylum for the criminally insane who insists he's sane and certainly not a psychopath.
Ronson not only solves the mystery of the hoax but also discovers, disturbingly, that sometimes the personalities at the helm of the madness industry are, with their drives and obsessions, as mad in their own way as those they study. And that relatively ordinary people are, more and more, defined by their maddest edges.
Just can't stop reading it . 我觉得作者基本上搞出了篇精神病学的学术论文然后科普叙事化了,但是仍然不失严谨和逻辑,对科普著作写作有指导意义。 写的很流畅易读还偶尔点缀个段子,写法也比较引人入胜,搞点悬念啥的,读第一章时还以为是在读有龙纹身的女生那本书。 读完...
评分 评分蛮精彩的
评分适合当小品文看。当不得真,但却要谨慎对待。
评分内容很引人入胜。只是结论太肤浅。流水账一本。但比“左脑天才”那本书强太多了。。,起码jon ronson有credential。。。
评分没有想象的那么好,新闻报道式的介绍,揭露一些现象,提出一些问题而已。
评分iBook。作者越是用这样吊诡弄巧的手法,我越是不喜欢。是讲了一段精彩的故事,作为non-fiction的观赏度很高。
