Publisher Description
What if society wasn't fundamentally rational, but was motivated by insanity? 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 . . .
Read by Jon Ronson, and combining his 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.

Great book
As a psychology student this book is very interesting and read great by Jon 👍
Starts well
Then loses its way.
Super interesting
This is a funny, intriguing and also incredibly well researched book. I loved that Jon is the narrator of his own book, even though some people don’t like his style or voice. Definitely recommend it.
