The Psychopath Test

Early on, Ronson mentions “If you worry you might be a psychopath then you aren't one” to help keep us focused. The exploration into the world of psychopaths and mental health institutes takes an interesting path – going through Scientology and the other fields to find memorable takeaways on the current state of phycology and our still limited understanding of the mind.

As a Criminal Minds devotee and writer, I'm jealous I didn't write this book first. In his usual talent and flair, Ronsen inserts himself among the experts, those studying psychopaths and those labeled such.

Something was missing from this book that I can't quite put my finger on. I wish more science had been included to round out the interviews.

Overall: 3.5 stars
