Review: The Wisdom of Psychopaths: What Saints, Spies, and Serial Killers Can Teach Us About Success

The Wisdom of Psychopaths: What Saints, Spies, and Serial Killers Can Teach Us About Success by Kevin Dutton
My 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 are often charming and intelligent – and know no fears.
Psychopaths make decisions coolly and rationally; emotions and morals aren’t factors.
Psychopaths don’t just contemplate doing something – they take action.
Why are psychopaths successful? What sorts of positions are best for them?

Some psychopathic traits are more common in executives and politicians than in convicted criminals.
Living in the here and now – what psychopaths have in common with Zen masters.
Psychopathic traits are especially useful in stressful, chaotic environments.
“Generation Me”: Psychopathic traits are more widespread in younger generations.
What can we learn from successful psychopaths?

Acquiring psychopathic traits can be useful for your own advancement.
Functional psychopaths can flip their behavioral switch depending on the situation.

Review: Mindset: The New Psychology of Success

Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol S. Dweck
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Basically this Audible Audiobook is an extension and elaborative discription of Angela Duckworth's book where the author put forwarded the differences between Fixed Mindset and Growth(Grit) Mindset. And, what I love is the real life examples of many personalities from once a famous violinist to Top Golfer and their mindsets.

This book will surely give you a new perspective to see life differently, not in Black and White order.
So, I personally recommend you to read either one of them as both discuss the very same thing.

Maximize Your Potential: Grow Your Expertise, Take Bold Risks & Build an Incredible Career by Jocelyn K. Glei
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

WoW! So much to learn from this book. The second in series and an incredible sequel of Manage your day-to-day (link http://amzn.to/2lkpOXe )
Seriously, there're no words enough to explain the greatness of this book, a fabulous compilation of stories, lessons and teachings of some rare and successful persons.

Why just four stars?
Simply, bcoz earlier one was beyond my expectations and this one is some what repetition and extension of earlier book.


I honestly recommend you to read. If not, then at least go though the notes and highlights I've created, which I'm going to put on my blog www.sumt7.blogspot.com

Here's the link http://amzn.to/2lkeYk1 to buy it at Rs 49 or 0.79 USD.

Review: Meltdown: A Free-Market Look at Why the Stock Market Collapsed, the Economy Tanked, and the Government Bailout Will Make Things Worse

Meltdown: A Free-Market Look at Why the Stock Market Collapsed, the Economy Tanked, and the Government Bailout Will Make Things Worse by Thomas E. Woods Jr.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This one of a quite contradicting view of 2008 Lehman Crisis. Here the author blaming the Government particularly the President Bush & his economic advisories. While the mainstream media maintains that rampant capitalism caused the 2008 financial crisis, the federal government is actually to blame. That’s because by depressing interest rates and fostering economic bubbles, the government caused the near disintegration of the US economy.
