Disturbing in a good way
A look inside the mind of serial killer’s
I’m hoping season 2 will be faster paced because they’ve gotten a lot of the back story out of the way. By back story I mean how the FBI became involved in this study and why. Either way I really enjoyed the show. Psychology has always been very interesting to me, especially the psychology of those who do horrific things.

Jon Ronson, the author of Men Who Stare at Goats, dives into the psychology behind the PCL-R, also known as the Bob Hare Psychopath Checklist (revised). Having heard about the checklist, Ronson self diagnoses as a psychopath, and decides to find out more. From talking to high-powered businessmen, to discussing brain scans of psychopaths' brains with an experimental psychologist who has a psychopath's brain scan, this is a fascinating dive into the psychology of psychopathy.
Of course, it wouldn't be a Jon Ronson book if it didn't include Ronson's special brand of gonzo, self-deprecating humour, which ties the whole book together into a cohesive story that will keep you reading "just one more page" until the end.
The only reason I gave this book a rating of 9 and not a 10 is because I have also read Men Who Stare at Goats, which is even better.

Movie Critics (823 KP) rated Walking Out (2017) in Movies
Oct 1, 2017
Walking Out, a sublimely beautiful tale of father-son bonding in the Montana wilderness. Transitioning from testy estrangement to a serious state of emergency, the movie packs an impressive amount of psychology within its bare-bones plot
