Since the original publication of Nudge more than a decade ago, the title has entered the vocabulary of businesspeople, policy makers, engaged citizens, and consumers everywhere. The book has given rise to more than 200 "nudge units" in governments around the world and countless groups of behavioral scientists in every part of the economy. It has taught us how to use thoughtful "choice architecture" - a concept the authors invented - to help us make better decisions for ourselves, our families, and our society.

Best-selling author David Gillespie turns his attention to a phenomenon that damages businesses, seeds mental disease and discomfort and can bring civilisations to the brink of implosion - the psychopath. Psychopaths are often thought of as killers and criminals, but actually 5 to 10 percent of people are probably psychopathic without ever indulging in a single criminal act. These everyday psychopaths may be charming in the early stages of relationships or employment, but, Gillespie argues, their presence in your life is at best disruptive and at worst highly dangerous.

A truly practical guide for handling toxic people
Revisado: 08-14-21
As a guide to how to handle toxic people, David Gillespie has nailed it. I also feel for the author's own negative experiences with toxicity but have to highlight that it is obvious to me that he comes from circumstances where he had a lot of options socially and economically. The unfortunate reality is that many of those in need of escaping toxicity do not have the options available that he has/had. E.g. Finding new work is easier if your skills are in demand or in an employment culture that accepts people resigning and moving on. It would have been great if he had taken the time to consider alternative circumstances far removed from his privileged circumstances - it is not the ordinary experience of people to be well-qualified, have security of living arrangements and financial fallback.
The other unfortunate aspect of the book is that the use of psychiatric terms is at best a bit shaky. In reading this book, you have to appreciate the gist in order to arrive at the essence. Ultimately, he has correctly identified toxic traits to be wary of and how to handle them.

An unmistakably great memoir
Revisado: 08-14-21
Ashley Ford's memoir is a fabulous literary work. The quality of her writing is top class. On top of that, her story is one which is worth hearing. I was riveted to the audiobook, fascinated by depth and clarity she communicated her life journey. It almost felt like I was living her life and I found it easy to identify with what she had written about herself despite the reality that I have lived a fundamentally different life.
I have to emphasise that the quality of her writing is superb. I can't think of many writers that write so well. It was also great to have her narrate her own story.
