The Psychopath Test: A Journey Through the Madness Industry opens Goodreads in a new tab

My thoughts

3.5/5 stars There is no evidence that we've been placed on this planet to be especially happy or especially normal. And in fact, our unhappiness and our strangeness, our anxieties and compulsions, those least fashionable aspects of our personalities, are quite often what lead us to do rather interesting things. I am not sure how much I learned about psychopaths from this but it was definitely a fun read. The author is so anxious throughout the book and ykw I relate, yes I do! If you are planning to read, I'd suggest giving the audiobook a try. It makes things 10x better!! I wondered if sometimes the difference between a psychopath in Broadmoor and a psychopath on Wall Street was the luck of being born into a stable, rich family. This and many such quotes will leave you pondering a lot of your beliefs and that I consider a sign of a good read!
