Wisdom of Psychopaths
Courtesy Scientific American/Farrar, Straus and Giroux

"Psychopath" is a weighted, sometimes terrifying word. But psychologist Kevin Dutton makes the argument that not all psychopaths are violent. In fact, some of their qualities -- fearlessness, confidence, charisma -- set them up for success in today's society. Dutton spoke at Seattle's Town Hall on Oct. 30, 2012.

Dr. Kevin Dutton is a research psychologist and the author of "The Wisdom of Psychopaths: What Saints, Spies, And Serial Killers Can Teach Us About Success."
