Product Description
In the most of the world, psychopaths have gotten a bad rap. That, of course, is quite understandable since almost all of the world's religious and social philosophies have little use for the individual except as a tool to be placed in service to their notion of something else: 'God,' or the 'collective,' or the 'higher good' or some other equally undefinable term. Only rarely, such as in Zen; in Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism; in some aspects of Tibetan Buddhism and Hinduism; and in some schools of Existentialism, is the individual considered primal. Here, finally, is a book which celebrates, encourages and educates the best part of ourselves---The Psychopath.

 Truth Seeker Finds the Truth, Awful Though It Is! October 6, 2008

I loved this book. After I read it I went back and re-read it, which is something I rarely do. And I'm sure I will read it again. The reason is I don't want to forget what he said. Dr. Hyatt certainly pulls no punches in this book. Everyone who is willing to read and take heed will be much better off, in my opinion. He pointed out most painfully what is wrong with the world, and I felt depressed for a while after I read it because I know that it probably won't be fixed ever, or at least not in my lifetime. The book made me feel great compassion and sadness for the millions and millions of childlike people in the world (And when I say that I don't mean the mentally retarded. I mean the average man on the street.) being used and abused by others who are more evolved, but instead of using their greater comprehension to help others, they have used it to exploit them. The only thing we can do is to keep evolving and to protect ourselves as best we can from those exploiters who seem to have found their way into places of power.
I don't mean to sound morbid. Dr. Hyatt has written other books to help people to evolve and to get out of the prison of dogma, the past, and most of all their own beliefs. I believe he is a very brilliant man, and I want to read all of his books. I feel sorry for those who don't understand what he says because it is to their own detriment.

Bible of the Nietzsche Superman!!! August 3, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
On my shelf between Neitzsche's "Thus Spake Zarathustra" and Machiavelli's "The Prince", is Christopher Hyatt's PSYCHOPATH'S BIBLE. If you've ever desired to become a Neitzsche Superman but weren't quite sure how to go about it, this is THE handbook on the subject. Neitzsche said "Man is something to be surpassed" but left only vague clues that take a doctoral degree in philosophy to decipher. And even then it's only one man's opinion of the material. If you truly wish to transcend the human race then apply what you'll read in THE PSYCHOPATH'S BIBLE. I'm convinced it received so few stars from other reviewers because most normal people can't or won't wrap their minds around the material. Many people won't allow their minds to entertain new ideas for fear of accepting them! This is one of the few books that gives me the warm fuzzies when I read it. Finally a current book that represents my philosophy. I see used copies going for over a hundred bucks--and worth every penny!

This guy does nothing but build up straw men and then knocks them down. He attacks non-existent arguments as if people really are trying to ensnare him in some religious or neo-socialist, slave-like, schema. Don't waste your time. Read John Stuart Mill's essays on liberation instead.
Waste of time and money January 23, 2007

Well, I couldn't tell if he was trying to be funny and had a really weird sense of humor or he was serious and seriously psychotic (not psychopathic, but rather delusional) Either way, two things are obvious here: 1) This guy is trying to make a niche for himself (pretty successfully, i might add), and 2) he's trying (desperately, it seems) to make SOME use, ANY use for those three letters after his name. No press is bad press, as they say and he's banking on that. But none of that evaluates the result of his great idea of celebrating the cultural taboo, in this case being a psychopath. I wish a reader could give this book 0 stars. It's basically a lot of self-indulgent "my view on the world" writing. What a waste of time for the reader. This guy thinks that a PhD allows him to educate all willing readers to the state of "the human condition." Wow, that's a pretty laudable goal, especially if he tries to accomplish it in one book and with only himself as the so-called "expert." He states that this book will cause him to be banished him from the "stifling" world of academia. I don't know who he's kidding, but it sounds to me like only his ego ever fit in world of academia. This is just a book filled with jargon that will attract all the "rebels without a cause" out there, and incase they aren't convinced, he's thrown in some shock-value to boot and sprinkled the book with some drawings of skulls and crossbones and occult symbols. I'm not impressed. If you're a true psychopath, no one needs to give you any advice about your life or yourself since you know very well what you want; plus you'll likely not follow anyone's advice anyway. If you're looking for shock-value, I suggest a free televised episode of Law and Order SVU. However, if you want to know anything about psychopathy, read Robert Hare's (also a PhD) pioneering work on the subject. In fact, although he was the first to write candidly on the subject, many others have followed in the last couple decade and done some good follow-up work. All "experts" on the subject of psychotpathy have said again and again that being a psychopath does not hurt the actual psychopath, in fact it pretty much gives them an edge in most realms, such as business, politics, law, etc... It instead leaves a trail of trauma behind in their wake for others to deal with. So in his "psychopath happy, victim unhappy" message this author brandishes no new information. He just packages it with a little more ego and a lot of bad writing. One thing he fails to tell his readers is that recent publications on psychopathy have revealed that psychopaths DO miss out on a big part of life - they can't bond with another human being. Many report fellings of "emptiness" or feeling "hollow." They necessitate a constant stream of excitement to compensate for the loss. They are utterly alone. It may be a condition to be feared, but evidently it may not be a condition to be envied. I do however, applaud the author's tact of coming out of the psychopathy closet. Wouldn't it be a safer world if all psychopaths so readily identified themselves to all those "bleeding hearts" out there "burdened" with a conscience? And, by the way, what's this guy's hang-up with Christianity? If you don't like Christianity (and there's a lot not to like, I grant him) walk away from it and find something else or just walk away. Big freaking deal. As long as he's still hung-up on it enough to do EVERYTHING THE OPPOSITE then he's, well, still being controlled by it. Oh, and you can't make yourself into a psychopath. (Sociopath, maybe, with a lot of help..) Just like psychopaths can't be cured and turned into "normal" people, to the great chagrin of many a well-meaning family member. So the little quizz or whatever it is at the end of the book is pretty silly.
