How psychopathy actually works, according to a diagnosed psychopath

Lewis Raymond Taylor is a life coach and entrepreneur who says he was diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder, a condition often associated with psychopathy. He spent his younger years dealing with violence, addiction, and crime, including serving prison time for grievous bodily harm.

Taylor explains to Business Insider what it feels like to live with little to no emotion, how psychopathic traits shaped his behavior, and why he believes those same traits can be redirected toward success. He also discusses manipulation, risk-taking, and detachment in both criminal environments and business.

He rebuilt his life and founded The Coaching Masters, a life coaching company he says is now worth $25 million. Taylor's story is also featured in the Netflix documentary "The Psychopath Life Coach."
