Being a psychopath is bad, right? Actually, no.
A surprising number of us are good psychopaths – people who can control qualities such as fear, indecision and conscience to shine in a variety of situations. Are you one of them?
In this compelling guide, packed with insightful, interactive quizzes, SAS legend Andy McNab and Oxford University psychologist Dr Kevin Dutton will help you find out if you are a good psychopath – and if you’re not, how you can behave like one.
Drawing on the heroic military career of McNab (a confirmed good psychopath) and Dutton’s lifetime of research, The Good Psychopath’s Guide to Success will help you improve qualities such as charm, coolness, courage and confidence to help you get the very best out of life.
What is a good psychopath? And how can thinking like one help you to be the best that you can be?
Professor Kevin Dutton has spent a lifetime studying psychopaths. He first met SAS hero Andy McNab during a research project. What he found surprised him. McNab is a diagnosed psychopath but he is a GOOD PSYCHOPATH. Unlike a BAD PSYCHOPATH, he is able to dial up or down qualities such as ruthlessness, fearlessness, conscience and empathy to get the very best out of himself – and others – in a wide range of situations.
Drawing on the combination of Andy McNab’s wild and various experiences and Professor Kevin Dutton’s expertise in analysing them, together they have explored the ways in which a good psychopath thinks differently and what that could mean for you. What do you really want from life, and how can you develop and use qualities such as charm, coolness under pressure, self-confidence and courage to get it? The Good Psychopath Manifesto gives you a unique and entertaining roadmap to self-fulfillment both in your personal life and your career.

“Wow, this book was very impactful on my life. I was not only able to apply the important suggestions to help in my work and in my career; but, I was also able to better understand what makes a psychopath tick and why they are so destructive to society. Dr. Duntton’s book is a great and fun read. If you read it you will definitely get a great insight into our current president (so predictive).” 5★ Amazon review
“Nothing simple about it, but described and written with acute granularity. As in, imagine you’re wearing a hockey mask, and now you’re driving a steamroller, and someone out there once drew a chalk line on the pavement… and your job is to detect the thickness of that chalk line and get it… and pretend like it’s not the tripwire to a command detonated IED… boom
McNab is my favorite author, bar none. I love to quote (paraphrase) him from earlier work. “The only true measure of a man’s intelligence is the speed with which that person can adapt to a new situation.” Thanks for that, sir, and thank you for putting it so eloquently as when you mentioned having done your radiator time. Cheers. And thank you for having lived through what is for me and fortunate others just nightmares. Good show..” 5★ Amazon review
