Book Synopsis
Psychopath. No sooner is the word out than images of murderers, rapists, suicide bombers and gangsters flash across our minds. But unlike their box-office counterparts, not all psychopaths are violent, or even criminal. This title reveals a shocking truth: beneath the hype and the popular characterisation, psychopaths have something to teach us.

Trade Review
An original and thought-provoking study * Daily Mail *
Goes beyond cliché to view the world through a psychopath's eyes … this book knows how to get under the skin * Guardian *
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.
Kevin Dutton is a Special Forces style psychologist. Daring. Original. All-action. No nonsense. -- Sir Ranulph Fiennes
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
