The Wisdom of Psychopaths: What Saints, Spies, and Serial Killers Can Teach Us About Success by Kevin DuttonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Though I've read this book quite fast but I really enjoyed those useful lessons and somehow in mid of it, I started considering myself as a good psychopath. Someone who has total control on fear or any emotion, whatsoever. And, it maybe due to years of mediation & reading spiritual scriptures.
The main message in this book is:
Some psychopaths end up in jail as tried murderers and rapists, but others are successful executives, lawyers and surgeons and hold high political offices. Actually, it’s specific psychopathic traits like fearlessness and living in the now that help them achieve success – a lesson for anyone who wants to learn from successful, functional psychopaths.
This book in blinks answered the following questions:
What makes psychopaths different from others? What are they like?

Psychopaths make decisions coolly and rationally; emotions and morals aren’t factors.
Psychopaths don’t just contemplate doing something – they take action.
