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.

评分 评分如果对美国社会比较了解我想读这本书会非常生动。可惜在文化背景下的不同读一本应该生动的书却感觉很陌生。文化的基因随时随地都会展现它的独特之处。 其实里面的一些观点真的有点像自己心理经历一样。最早是觉得谁有资格来界定疯狂呢？随后的确信真的有疯狂的存在，并认为它很...

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。
评分蛮精彩的
评分文笔很好，但写的好乱啊，不知道作者想说神马
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。
