Haven't read it, but it's a fascinating subject. Approximately 4% of the population in the US are supposedly psychopaths....

Brilliant Welsh journalist Jon Ronson (who also wrote 'The Men Who Stare at Goats' and directed the documentary series 'Secret Rulers of the World') wrote this book with much thoughtfulness and lots of dry humor. You can hear an excerpt of the book on 'This American Life'... the portion wherein Ronson visits ex-Sunbeam CEO Al Dunlap to assess whether or not the retired businessman is a psychopath.

Jon Ronson (author of "Them" and "The Men Who Stare at Goats" takes an enlightening journey through the madness industry. This book reveals the effect psychopaths can have over our lives which is way out of proportion to their actual numbers and the surprising number of occupations that profit from madness.
