Summary:
"Does
power
corrupt, or are corrupt people drawn to
power
? Are entrepreneurs
who
embezzle and cops
who
kill the result of poorly designed systems or are they just bad people? Are tyrants made or born? If you were suddenly thrust into a position of
power
, would you be able to resist the temptation to line your pockets or seek revenge against your enemies? To answer these questions, '
Corruptible
' draws on over 500 interviews with some of the world's top leaders-from the noblest to the dirtiest-including presidents and philanthropists as well as rebels, cultists, and dictators. Some of the fascinating insights include:
how
facial appearance determines
who
we pick as leaders, why narcissists make more money, why some people don't want
power
at all and others are drawn to it out of a psychopathic impulse, and why being the 'beta male' (second in command) may actually be the optimal place for health and well-being. '
Corruptible
' also features a wealth of counterintuitive examples from history and social science: you'll meet the worst bioterrorist in American history, hit the slopes with a ski instructor
who
once ruled Iraq, and learn why the inability of chimpanzees to play baseball is central to the development of human hierarchies. Based on deep, unprecedented research from around the world, the book will challenge your most basic assumptions about becoming a leader and what might happen to your head when you get there. It also provides a road map to avoiding classic temptations, suggesting a series of reforms that would facilitate better people finding a path to power-and ensuring that
power
purifies rather than corrupts."--From publisher.
