I got this signed copy of this book when I went to see Jon perform his show "Tales from The Last Days Of August and The Butterfly Effect" at the Manchester Albert Hall in May 2019. Only just got round to registering it here.

What if society wasn't fundamentally rational, but was motivated by insanity? This thought sets Jon Ronson on an utterly compelling adventure into the world of madness.

Along the way, Jon meets psychopaths, those whose lives have been touched by madness and those whose job it is to diagnose it, including the influential psychologist who developed the Psychopath Test, from whom Jon learns the art of psychopath-spotting. A skill which seemingly reveals that madness could indeed be at the heart of everything . . .

Combining Jon Ronson's trademark humour, charm and investigative incision, The Psychopath Test is both entertaining and honest, unearthing dangerous truths and asking serious questions about how we define normality in a world where we are increasingly judged by our maddest edges.

I started reading this at the weekend, it's book 12 of my reading list for 2022.

I really enjoyed Jon Ronson’s writing in this book about madness, the the way he put together his findings was brilliant and I loved the way he put together his conclusions both about the subject along with his own fears and thoughts. A fascinating read, I’ll definitely look out for more of his works when I’m looking for something to read.

Looking forward to reading this after seeing him live and hearing bits of his podcasts.
