Psychopath's Bible: For the Extreme Individual. Christopher S. Hyatt
Review from amazon
--
Summary: Disturbing. Ingenious. Magical. Buy it.
I have to be honest; I'm feeling very ambivalent regarding this book. I'm not sure if it's a masterpiece of self-empowerment, a cynical pile of literary terrorism or simply a big fat joke played on all the people stupid enough to spend their money on it (like me).
The Psychopath's Bible is just that; sound advice for people who aren't too concerned with ethics. It's a manual on how to get what you want. It contains advice on how to analyse and deconstruct yourself, on how to analyse others, and on how to use this for whatever you want. And how to make them thank you for it. It isn't evil, deranged or satanical, it's simply practical. So practical that it's scary.
Several time while reading it, I got the terrible feeling; 'what if I changed into that? What if I used this, looked at the world like this? What would I be able to achieve?'
To be honest, I'm terrified of what I might do. That I might do everything I ever wanted to. Nothing is more scary than that.
In the end, there's really only one thing to do. Get this book. It is deeply troubling to read, it has got me questioning things I took for granted, and I feel richer because of it.
