I agree with a minimal part of the thesis of the book: some traits which are commonly found in psychopathic individuals are useful in day to day life. Yes. Unfortunately, a lot of the writing in this book is sensationalized and presented more in the style of an overly produces Netflix documentary, as opposed to a scientifically sound book. As always, when the topic of psychopaths and violent psychopaths comes about, it sells to speak about it in larger than life terms.
