A psychologist’s anatomy of the con, from the put-up to the blow-off, arguing that confidence artists succeed by exploiting the same trust and story-hunger that make ordinary social life possible.
Why it’s on the list: On Kyle’s own shelf, unread — the literal anti-library case: a book bought and shelved rather than a recommendation received.
Where I saw it: Transcribed from a photo of Kyle’s own bookshelves, saved into his “Books To Read” Apple Note. Kyle confirmed on 2026-09-18 that he has not read any of the shelf titles that were not already in the library.
