Dutton draws a parallel between key psychopathic traits and people highly apt for professions like brain surgeons, military, politicians, etc. Attributes such as; incapable of empathy, lack of remorse, unable to feel anxious, to name a few. These are useful, for lack of a better word, when performing under pressure/stress and staying sharp in the midst of chaos. Pretty interesting!

pr.alm This was a great read, @Gissy. It reminded of Malcolm Gladwell‘s informative writing style and Robert Greene‘s persuasive narrative. 😂 1y

Creepy thoughts, but so applicable to business that my head is spinning.
