Summary of Kevin Dutton's The Wisdom of Psychopaths - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The frog and the scorpion are sitting on the bank of a river, and the frog needs to get to the other side. The frog is suspicious of the scorpion, but allows him to ride on his back across the river. At first everything goes according to plan, but halfway across, the frog suddenly feels a sharp pain in his back and sees the scorpion withdraw his stinger. #2 The brains of psychopaths and nonpsychopaths are similar, and there is no difference between them.
However, a dead brain is very different from a living one, and the lights are on when examining a brain, not off. #3 The brain waves of psychopaths are different from normal people, and they occur during normal waking states. Language is only word deep for psychopaths, and they have no emotional contouring behind their words. #4 Fabrizio Rossi, the curator of the Museum of Serial Killers in Florence, Italy, said that the most intriguing thing about psychopaths is their normal appearance.
But scratch beneath the surface, and you never know what you might find.
