I love This American Life, and recently listened to an episode that I couldn’t help but share. The focus is on what it really means to be a psychopath, how the psychopath test was created- along with reports that the man who created the test, Bob Hare, is concerned at how it’s being used today in the criminal justice system. The final act investigates whether corporate leaders can, in fact, be psychopaths by visiting a former Sunbeam CEO named Al Dunlap.
