Snakes in Suits: When Psychopaths Go To Work Audiobook

" Superb book... Must read! ^^ "

" I really enjoy how the author weaves short vignettes about psychopaths in the workplace into his more intellectual discussion of the phenomenon! Excellent! "

" Good concept and the writing is 'good'. Problem is that it's kind of an academic topic. To make it more marketable it looks like the editors/publishers (?) interspersed the rather interesting facts with an episodic narrative. This fills out the text, but takes an interesting subject and converts it into a tedious read more suitable for the pre-teen set. But considering it is a 'business' book, that's probably the most appropriate reading level. "

" An interesting take on those who are willing to do anything to get ahead in the workplace. We most often think of psychopaths as people who will take a hatchet and cut you up into little bits for no real reason at all. We tend to overlook the fact that most organizations have at least one person who is willing to do anything that it takes to get ahead. They may do simple things such as talking about you behind your back, or they may take an all out effort to totally discredit anyone who stands in their way. According to Babiak these people share the same aspects as psychopaths. I thought it was an interesting book. I don't know that the total concept is scientifically supported. "

" Most of this book deals with people in the workplace but I could see elements mentioned in people I know in life in general. Fortunately, I rate zero on the psychopath scale! "

" Very interesting perspective on those people we have all worked for where you say how did this crazy one become a boss??? Wish I had read this when I was still in corporate, I really explains some folks perspectives. "

" This book is a frustrating read. It could be consolidated and better organized! "

" very informative, the book gives you clues to look for and how to watch out for yourself and your career if you have the misfortune to work with, or worse, work for, a psychopath. "

" Chilling. A must read for anyone in politics. You will certainly recognize the type. "

" This book is a look at psychopaths and how they differ from sociopaths, or just plain narcissists. It's a good read, with a story thrown into the mix. But there are some good tips and interesting sociological looks at people. Parts of it were dry, but overall well written and made sense. "

" It's a good read, and very thought provoking. "

" I know the authors of this book keep saying, "Don't use this book to diagnose psychopathy," but what this book taught me was that I seriously work with a lot of psychopaths. "

" I saw the author speak at a training, and I enjoyed him. This book is pretty good. Takes about the " regular guys" in the workplace who are sociopathic and the behaviors one might see. "

" Put the book down before finishing - something I don't like to do! But this book was more focused in private industry. "

" A great look into the mind of the kind of person who can completely ruin your life. "

" How to identify psychopaths in your office. Very interesting read. "

" This book provides a very eye-opening view of the pschopathic personalities that run our coororations and of our government. "

" This book was very informative, but could have been written in 50 pages or less. There were many themes that we restated over and over again. "

" This book is a frustrating read. It could be consolidated and better organized! "

" A Must Read for anyone who is getting the run-around at work and does not know why. ALSO - if the psychopath claims any kind of ADA reasonable accommodation, then you should just quit the job. Don't ask me how I found this out. "

" Hard to believe, but they do exist out there and justice may never catch with up them. Just recognize them and adjust yourself accordingly. "

" This book is a look at psychopaths and how they differ from sociopaths, or just plain narcissists. It's a good read, with a story thrown into the mix. But there are some good tips and interesting sociological looks at people. Parts of it were dry, but overall well written and made sense. "

" I didn't realize this was going to be a cross between a business book and a pop psychology/self-help book, otherwise I would have never picked it up. "

" Don't bother. The writing didn't grip me. Read like a repetitive text book for an into to Psychology Gone Awry class. I was expecting more. "

" Versi pria untuk "The Devil Wears Prada"? Hehe, jauh. Buku ini mungkin cocok untuk perempuan yang gemar mencari definisi baru untuk tiap kata di otaknya. Usaha yang bagus untuk mendefinisikan ulang apa itu psikopat. "

" Most of this book deals with people in the workplace but I could see elements mentioned in people I know in life in general. Fortunately, I rate zero on the psychopath scale! "

" This is a real readable study of the psychopathic personality. You will be left with a greater awareness of the degrees of this kind of personality as well as tools to detect them. "
