The Wisdom of Psychopaths by Kevin Dutton

The Wisdom of Psychopaths by Kevin Dutton

Dutton is an Oxford psychologist, and his argument is that psychopathy is a set of dials rather than a switch — ruthlessness, fearlessness, focus, charm, mental toughness — and that turned to the right settings they produce surgeons and special forces rather than criminals.

He interviews inmates at Broadmoor, a bomb disposal officer, a neurosurgeon who describes operating with total emotional detachment, and a Buddhist monk, and has his own brain scanned before and after a session of transcranial stimulation that temporarily gave him the profile. The ethical questions are left open on purpose.

A provocative and unusually entertaining book on a subject usually handled with a straight face.
