Kevin Dutton

Kevin Dutton is a British psychologist and writer whose work explores psychopathy, persuasion, and the psychology of extreme performance. He is best known for The Wisdom of Psychopaths and Flipnosis, books that brought academic ideas on social influence and personality to a broad popular audience.

Biografia e Percorso dell'Autore

Kevin Dutton is a British psychologist and author whose career has been built on taking subjects often treated as sensational and examining them with a researcher’s curiosity and a storyteller’s control. Born in London in 1967, he has traced his early fascination with persuasion and personality to childhood scenes of his father selling goods on a market stall, an environment that sharpened his eye for charm, confidence, and psychological leverage. He later earned a PhD in psychology from the University of Essex in 2000, worked there as a senior research fellow, and went on to spend many years in research roles at Oxford and Cambridge. That combination of academic training and close observation of everyday behavior became the foundation of his writing voice.
