Resumen del Editor

If you are bored and unfulfilled by dry and overly worthy self-help manuals, then this is the audiobook for you! Listen to this and take a very different look at yourself!

Former SAS hero Andy McNab and eminent psychologist Professor Kevin Dutton are unlikely partners. As Oxford academic and bestselling author of The Wisdom of Psychopaths, Kevin Dutton has plenty of experience of psychopaths, but he'd never met anyone quite like Andy McNab, decorated war hero and special forces warrior. And although they took very different paths on their roads through life, their personal stories are remarkably similar.

Together they decided to explore the subject of the psychopathic condition using a unique combination of McNab's personal experiences of 20 years in the army and Dutton's ability to analyse them. In their words, McNab pulls the trigger, Dutton explains why the gun goes bang!

This audiobook sets out to answer two main questions: What is a good psychopath? And how can you use the positive attributes of that psychology to be the 'best that you can be' In order to do so, they have created a Psychopath Manifesto, an alternative set of rules for life, which begins by asking 'what do you really want from life' and 'what does success look like to you'? It then offers a candid and penetrating insight into those questions viewed using Dutton's expertise through the prism of Andy McNab's wild and various career. It aims to provide an unusual and entertaining roadmap to self-fulfillment whether in your personal life, your business life or your social life

loved it

Very informative. Extremely engaging. Would reccomend to psychology enthusiasts, or even just a high-school student that's eager to learn.

Fantastic book!!

An extremely well written book and fantastic for anyone who wants to stop giving two shits about anything and get whatever they want.

Fascinating and Worthwhile

I strongly recommend this audio book for anyone who has difficulty rolling anything of their shoulders. Additionally the banter between the two authors is fantastic.

Surveys

Would you consider the audio edition of The Good Psychopath's Guide to Success to be better than the print version?

No, only because as I listened to this on a long car trip I could not write down the survey answers at the end of each chapter. It is a bit tedious to go back and do them again. I enjoyed the book, the content and the presentation. I looked to see if the quizzes were a download option and they are not.

Excellent read

Taught me many things about both myself and psychopaths. I’m jealous of psychopaths after reading this book. fascinating!

Another great one

I cant get enough of the two authors. very entertaining and infirmative. I highly recommend this (audio)book

A Fascinating Perspective on Old Problems

Through the light hearted banter of a professor and his psychopathic friend, we take another look at common problems and psychological techniques. The psychopathic viewpoint takes the emotion out of common problems and presents them for straight forward solutions using current psychology. I found it useful to view my problems without, as the psychopath says, all the emotional "flopping around".

Fantastic and informative

Loved this. Full of real world stories and great summaries of scientific studies. Well told.

Finally feeling understood

This book was great. I appreciate knowing I operated differently from the world. I will put the principles to practice.

Cheers To The Misfits!

A great read for all of those who feel like they just don't fall into the normal scheme of things. Those who are truly capable of acknowledging they need to grow in certain areas of their lives will get a lot out of this book. The way it is read keeps the flow of the book, upbeat, light hearted and fun. All while maintaining the integrity of a self-help book. I learned some great tricks, and had a laugh all at the same time. Cheers guys! (And I'm a Yank! See what you two have me doing by the end of this book?! Ha!)
