A fascinating exploration into the mind of the psychopath - revealing what we can learn from it
Dr Kevin Dutton is a researcher at the Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Oxford, and a member of the Oxford Centre for Emotions and Affective Neuroscience (OCEAN) research group. He regularly publishes in leading international scientific journals and speaks at conferences around the world. He is the author of the acclaimed Flipnosis- The Art of Split-Second Persuasion.
Dutton tackles an elusive, important and much neglected aspect of
the mind; our personality. He presents some highly original
insights and does so in a provocative and humorous style -- V. S.
Ramachandran, Gifford lecturer , Reith lecturer and author of The
Tell-Tale Brain
The Wisdom of Psychopaths is a surprising, absorbing, and
perceptive book set out in briskly readable prose and with gripping
anecdotes. I found it altogether fascinating. -- Philip Pullman
Dutton has written a masterful, readable, and entertaining treatise
on psychopathy and its manifestations in everyday life. Some of his
ideas will generate debate and controversy, but he clearly has
provided a thought-provoking book for those seeking to understand
the "psychopathic" world in which they live. -- Robert Hare,
PhD
Inspiring and revelatory. Dutton's book gave me a real insight into
who I really am. -- Andy McNab
[W]onderfully entertaining... it beautifully depicts why
psychopaths are the way they are on both a neurological and
psychological level. Ultimately it's about understanding them and
Dutton does an amazing job illustrating their inner workings. I
don't think I have ever read a book that so skilfully blends a
serious topic with an adventurous streak, especially when he
undergoes a "psychopath make-over". Fast-paced, fun and smart,
this is for everyone who wants to know more about what makes
psychopaths tick! In short: An intriguing and captivating work
about the psychopath's mind! * The Book Garden *
