‘Psychopaths of Glory – Unlocking the Bastard Within’ by Dr Martin Pournelle

Do you dream of a career in politics or big business but feel you lack ‘the right stuff’? Do you find yourself unwilling to lie, cheat and screw other people over in pursuit of your life goals? Then you’re probably one of the unfortunate 99% of the population afflicted with a conscience. Dr Pournelle, himself an unbelievably callous prick, shows you how this evolutionary albatross can be overcome. He guides you step-by-step through the process of surgically modifying your prefrontal cortex using simple household tools and introduces a series of practical exercises (ranging from breaking children’s toys to microwaving kittens) that will systematically transform you from bleeding heart into unfeeling monster. If you can learn to Be Ruthless, Not Toothless™, the world’s your oyster- an oyster to be eaten live in front of its horrified spat.
