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.

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。。。
评分强烈推荐,写作风格很吸引人,作者喜欢用倒叙来讲述故事。内容也很有意思。
评分汉尼拔以及伏地魔。
评分有点意思。
评分前半部分还能够着重悬念以及集中在psychopath上,后半部分就猎奇居多了,以放大madness来吸引眼球。虽然有提到了child bipolar 和 autism 的 overdiagnose 的问题,但也只是触及表面而已。
