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...
沒前兩本好看,書中提出世界被百分之一psychopaths統治的論點,卻沒真的發掘,講了一堆其他的事,娛樂性還是很高,那本42頁的Being or Nothingness好有趣,也沒再深挖。竟然有提到Fitz~
评分蛮精彩的
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。。。
评分今天一口气看了200多页,实在是停不下来,非常、非常精彩。作为娱乐消遣及psycho常识入门可以打满分。Jon Ronson的文风幽默独特、写作技巧娴熟,看完书不禁成了他的粉丝。但是毕竟他只是记者不是精神专家,所以被不少专业人士狂喷~
评分汉尼拔以及伏地魔。
