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. 'The belly laughs come thick and fast - my God,
he is funny . . . provocative and interesting' - Observer

If you are going to care for someone, you must first understand them.
If you're going to hire, marry, or befriend someone, you have to be
able to see them. If you are going to work closely with someone, you
have to be able to make them feel recognized and valued. As David
Brooks observes, "The older I get, the more I come to the certainty
that there is one skill at the center of any healthy family, company,
classroom, community or nation: the ability to see each other, to know
other people, to make them feel valued, heard and understood."
And yet we humans don't do this well. All around us are people who feel
invisible, unseen, misunderstood. In How to Know a Person, Brooks sets
out to help us to do better, posing questions that are essential for
all of us. Driven by his trademark sense of curiosity, Brooks draws
from the fields of psychology and neuroscience, and from the worlds of
theatre, history, and education, to present a welcoming, hopeful,
integrated approach to human connection. How to Know a Person helps
readers become more understanding and considerate towards others; it
helps readers find the joy that comes from being seen. Along the way it
offers a possible remedy for a society that is riven by fragmentation,
hostility, and misperception.
The act of seeing another person, Brooks argues, is a profoundly
creative act: How can we look somebody in the eye and see something
large in them, and in turn, see something larger in ourselves? How to
Know a Person is for anyone searching for connection, seeking to
understand and yearning to be understood.
