ATTENTION AMERICAN PALS: 'How to Con Friends and Manipulate People' is now officially available in the US. Funny, deeply inappropriate and, worryingly, infinitely more useful than genuine self-help books. As if America hasn't got enough psychopaths already… Amazon link here: a.co/d/03tswhzn

Are psychopaths quietly taking over the world? And could we learn a thing or two from their methods? I had a fascinating (and often very funny) conversation with Anthony Astbury who heads up The Whole Man Academy. Hope you enjoy it youtube.com/watch?si=qczvfgovTY6N2aIF&v=ZOcI1LXwB9w&feature=youtu.be
