Psychopaths are often drawn to highstress, high-reward environments like the business world from "summary" of Snakes in Suits by Dr. Paul Babiak,Dr. Robert D. Hare
Psychopaths, characterized by their lack of empathy and manipulative tendencies, are often attracted to high-stress, high-reward environments such as the business world. These individuals thrive in settings where competition is fierce and the potential for personal gain is significant. The fast-paced nature of the business world provides psychopaths with the opportunity to exert their dominance and control over others, satisfying their need for power and excitement. In the corporate realm, psychopaths are able to easily manipulate those around them to further their own agendas. They are adept at charming and manipulating others to achieve their goals, often leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Their lack of conscience allows them to make decisions purely based on their own self-interest, without regard for the well-being of others. This ruthless approach to achieving success sets them apart from their more ethical counterparts. Moreover, the high-stress environment of the business world plays into the psychopath's desire for thrill-seeking behavior. They are drawn to situations where the stakes are high and the potential for reward is great. The adrenaline rush that comes from taking risks and outsmarting others is a powerful motivator for psychopaths, driving them to seek out challenging and competitive environments. Additionally, the business world provides psychopaths with ample opportunities to exercise their skills of manipulation and deceit. They are skilled at presenting a facade of charm and charisma to mask their true intentions, allowing them to easily win over others and gain their trust. This ability to manipulate others gives psychopaths a distinct advantage in the cutthroat world of business, where relationships and alliances can make or break a career.- The high-stress, high-reward environment of the business world is a perfect breeding ground for psychopaths. Their lack of empathy, manipulative tendencies, and thrill-seeking behavior make them well-suited for success in this competitive arena. By exploiting the vulnerabilities of others and prioritizing their own self-interest, psychopaths are able to thrive in the corporate world, often rising to positions of power and influence.
