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.

读后感
最近国内外食人魔，肢解怪的新闻频频出现，从概率上讲，你很可能遇见过冷血精神病患者。这样的人占总人口的0.5%至1%。如果排除妇女和儿童（至今难以解释的是，很少有妇女是冷血精神病患者），以及那些已经被关进大牢的人，可以算出大概有25万冷血精神病患者在美国自由地生活。 ...

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...
评分以为是用小故事引出理论研究，没想到全是精神病、精神变态相关故事，专业性科学性的内容很少。作者头脑不够清晰，意志不够坚定 ，专业知识乏善可陈，极易被精神病犯罪分子迷惑，对受害人缺乏同理心。 看了三章，全是引子，越看越看不下去。还以为是老外写的，不能是国内那种打...

蛮精彩的
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。
评分适合当小品文看。当不得真，但却要谨慎对待。
评分文笔很好，但写的好乱啊，不知道作者想说神马
