Jon Ronson 19th October UK

For those in the UK, Jon Ronson will be at the Bristol Hippodrome on 19th October to discuss his book, "The Psychopath Test."

I read his book, The Psychopath Test. He comes across as a bit scatterbrained to me, but it was an interesting read still, regardless. Not the best book to learn about psychopathy from though in my opinion. Maybe in person he can keep his thoughts together a bit more.

I'm not in the UK, so obviously I won't be going. If he's ever in Sydney, Australia I'd probably consider it.

Yeah the book isn't much, a decent starter work that is easy to read, the most interest I got from the book was the chapter that included info of past treatment attempts and places like Oak Ridge. I'd be kinda interested to learn more about Hare's teaching courses that he charges a fortune for, but most of the night based on a review seems worthless and pathetic (including two "victims" of "psychopaths").

One-sided argument? Jon Ronson: Psychopath Night review.

That's some review!

It's been some time since I read the book but, while I remember him having a trite manner in the way he wrote, he did bring up some interesting research and an alternate view of O'Hare's methods and drivers.

I'm not much of a fan of O'Hare, as he seems a bit of a witch-hunt jockey, so I found this particularly interesting.

However, we'll see; I have tickets for the show.

I was told to take some holiday before the end of the year so as not to get the company into trouble. Being that I'm fairly unimaginative, see you there jomp?

I wonder what percentage of the audience for these events might be psychopathic personalities. Is there a guy with a clipboard weeding them out? (hint: he's definitely one)

Interesting thought. Just don't order the Chianti at the interval and you should pass undetected.

How was it

I didn't get to go.

A job came up out of the country and I got back late last night.
