He’s a sociopath. And your boss, teacher, and colleague? They may be sociopaths too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe are accustomed to think of sociopaths as violent criminals, but in  The Sociopath Next Door , Harvard psychologist Martha Stout reveals that a shocking 4 percent of ordinary people—one in twenty-five—has an often undetected mental disorder, the chief symptom of which is that that person possesses no conscience. He or she has no ability whatsoever to feel shame, guilt, or remorse. One in twenty-five everyday Americans, therefore, is secretly a sociopath. They could be your colleague, your neighbor, even family. And they can do literally anything at all and feel absolutely no guilt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow do we recognize the remorseless? One of their chief characteristics is a kind of glow or charisma that makes sociopaths more charming or interesting than the other people around them. They’re more spontaneous, more intense, more complex, or even sexier than everyone else, making them tricky to identify and leaving us easily seduced. Fundamentally, sociopaths are different because they cannot love. Sociopaths learn early on to show sham emotion, but underneath they are indifferent to others’ suffering. They live to dominate and thrill to win.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fact is, we all almost certainly know at least one or more sociopaths already. Part of the urgency in reading  The Sociopath Next Door  is the moment when we suddenly recognize that someone we know—someone we worked for, or were involved with, or voted for—is a sociopath. But what do we do with that knowledge? To arm us against the sociopath, Dr. Stout teaches us to question authority, suspect flattery, and beware the pity play. Above all, she writes, when a sociopath is beckoning, do not join the game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the ruthless versus the rest of us, and  The Sociopath Next Door  will show you how to recognize and defeat the devil you know.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":67975041744932,"sku":"YSL60231","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/2614\/7620\/files\/716L-3T-W5L._SY1500.jpg?v=1793601865","url":"https:\/\/booktavero.com\/products\/b000fcjxtc","provider":"BookTavero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
