This thought sets Jon Ronson on an utterly compelling adventure into the world of madness.

Along the way, Jon meets psychopaths, those whose lives have been touched by madness and those whose job it is to diagnose it, including the influential psychologist who developed the Psychopath Test, from whom Jon learns the art of psychopath-spotting. A skill which seemingly reveals that madness could indeed be at the heart of everything...

Combining Jon Ronson's trademark humour, charm and investigative incision, The Psychopath Test is both entertaining and honest, unearthing dangerous truths and asking serious questions about how we define normality in a world where we are increasingly judged by our maddest edges. 0aPsychopaths912970 0aPsychology, Pathological924582 0aMental health912874  2lcc  00102lcc4070aTBSbTBSd2025-01-22l0oHV33 RONpB02715r2025-01-22t1w2025-01-22y1  c4472d4472
