Born Evil

The Hidden Genius of Our Darkest Instincts
From the internationally bestselling author of The Wisdom of Psychopaths comes a provocative exploration of the dark side of human nature, and the benefits of harnessing it in our everyday life.

Psychopathy. Narcissism. Machiavellianism.

These are the traits referred to as the personality 'Dark Triad' and relegated to outer edges of humanity: liars, dictators, criminals. But what if, rather than treating them as the all-or-nothing, on-or-off clinical markers of a toxic and dangerous condition, we saw them as an inherent and necessary part of human nature?

In this provocative and deeply researched book, Professor Kevin Dutton will take readers on a shocking journey of discovery to explore how and why these traits evolved and remain widespread, how they impact interpersonal relationships and workplace dynamics, and how they may - in fact - be key to our success.
