I absolutely really enjoyed the “Psychopath test” by Jon Ronson
I loved “the lovers executioner” by Irvin D Yalom! Would really really like something similar to this!
Currently reading “sociopath a memoir” by Patric Gagne which I’m enjoying!
Would like a book with interesting psychology stories that I can also learn from 💖 I enjoy them being in a story like/anecdotal/investigative structure to help me absorb it

Dopamine Nation was really really good
Also anything by Oliver Sacks like the man who thought his wife was a top hat, but it’s difficult to sit down and read these cover to cover
Not a psychology book but Bad Blood: Truth and Lies in Silicon Valley is about Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes, the sociopath who weasels her way to and over evaluation for her startup company and who had a product that was completely b******* and basically a plastic shell wrapped around another machine that already existed. I thought that this was a really interesting book and had a lot of talk about what happens when you get rid of all of your no people and surround yourself with yes people, what happens when you keep on digging that hole.
One Friday in April by Donald Antrim is a memoir about the author’s struggle with suicide. He talks about suicide as its own mental illness as opposed to a symptom. It was really eye opening for me. His writing is more stream of conscious
