I had purchased this book when it was first published because I had the sense that I was working with a psychopath and the narrative and case study in this book definitely confirmed my suspicions.
Having the ability to confirm the behaviours and traits of the Snake in the Suit really helped me to strategize with this person.
Basically, the book tells you that if you are working with a psychopath, then just get out of their way because the snake will destroy you and in all honesty that is exactly what the psychopath did in my workplace.
I believe the authors of this book are 'experts' in the field of socio/psych pathology. This book is a must read for all people in the workforce.

This book both scared and intrigued me. Although I studied social psychology in my sociology studies, little about psychopaths was covered, so these readings of late really fascinate me. This book really describes someone I know. This book can give you bad dreams, and it does need to be read.
On page 51, the authors said that psychopaths "even lie to people who tell the truth." That's interesting because the psychopath I know does that. The book oddly praised Caesar, who is someone I am also intrigued about it, and I want to learn more about him. The book said Caesar was surely not a psychopath. That's good. The idea that "Psychopaths have no career goals" perplexes me, because aren't they suppose to crave power and thus seek to advance in a career to get more and more power. The authors did say something to the effect of "They may appear ambitious, but if something more exciting comes along, they will go for that."

Two, two and half stars. This wasn't the book I was hoping for which maybe makes more of my problem. Having said that, I thought the book could have used better editing. There was a lot of the authors ... Read full review

Pretty repetitive without too much information beyond common knowledge. The best parts were the snippets of the made up story they included throughout the book. Otherwise, pretty boring. Read full review

I got around to this book several years after I first saw it referenced, and I'm glad I finally did. The author has a pleasingly terse writing style (with one exception that I'll mention in a minute ... Read full review

Great book. In the end it doesn't matter whether your dealing with a psychopath or not and it's very had to tell as someone may exhibit these behaviors and not be a psychopath. It's all about how you ... Read full review
