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 road-map to self-fulfillment both in your personal life and your career. Codice articolo LU-9780552171069

Riassunto:

Cos'è un bravo psicopatico? E come può pensare come uno psicopatico aiutarti a essere il meglio che puoi essere? Il professor Kevin Dutton ha trascorso una vita a studiare gli psicopatici. Ha incontrato per la prima volta l'eroe SAS Andy McNab durante un progetto di ricerca. Ciò che ha scoperto lo ha sorpreso. McNab è uno psicopatico diagnosticato ma è un BUON PSICOPATA. A differenza di un CATTIVO PSICOPATA, è in grado di aumentare o diminuire qualità come spietatezza, impavidità, coscienza ed empatia per ottenere il meglio da sé stesso (e dagli altri) in una vasta gamma di situazioni. Attingendo alla combinazione delle esperienze selvagge e varie di Andy McNab e all'esperienza del professor Kevin Dutton nell'analizzare le stesse, insieme hanno esplorato i modi in cui un bravo psicopatico pensa in modo diverso e cosa potrebbe significare per te. Cosa vuoi veramente dalla vita e come puoi sviluppare e usare qualità come fascino, freddezza sotto pressione, fiducia in te stesso e coraggio per ottenerlo? Il Manifesto del Buon Psicopatico ti offre una mappa unica e divertente per raggiungere la tua autorealizzazione sia nella vita personale che nella carriera.

Andy McNab (Author)
From the day he was found in a carrier bag on the steps of Guy's Hospital in London, Andy McNab has lead an extraordinary life.

As a teenage delinquent, Andy McNab kicked against society. As a young soldier he waged war against the IRA in the streets and fields of South Armagh. As a member of 22 SAS he was at the centre of covert operations for nine years – on five continents. During the Gulf War he commanded Bravo Two Zero, a patrol that, in the words of his commanding officer, 'will remain in regimental history for ever'. Awarded both the Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM) and Military Medal (MM) during his military career, McNab was the British Army's most highly decorated serving soldier when he finally left the SAS.

Since then Andy McNab has become one of the world’s bestselling writers, drawing on his insider knowledge and experience. As well as three nonfiction bestsellers including Bravo Two Zero, the bestselling British work of military history, he is the author of the bestselling Nick Stone thrillers. He has also written a number of books for children.

Besides his writing work, he lectures to security and intelligence agencies in both the USA and UK , works in the film industry advising Hollywood on everything from covert procedure to training civilian actors to act like soldiers and he continues to be a spokesperson and fundraiser for both military and literacy charities.
