Thomas says of her fellow sociopaths, “We are your neighbors, your coworkers, and quite possibly the people closest to you: lovers, family, friends. Our risk-seeking behavior and general fearlessness are thrilling, our glibness and charm alluring. Our often quick wit and outside-the-box thinking make us appear intelligent—even brilliant. We climb the corporate ladder faster than the rest, and appear to have limitless self-confidence.  Who are we? We are highly successful, noncriminal sociopaths and we comprise 4 percent of the American population.”\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eConfessions of a Sociopath\u003c\/i\u003e—part confessional memoir, part primer for the curious—takes readers on a journey into the mind of a sociopath, revealing what makes them tick while debunking myths about sociopathy and offering a road map for dealing with the sociopaths in your life. M. E. Thomas draws from her own experiences as a diagnosed sociopath; her popular blog, Sociopathworld.com; and scientific literature to unveil for the very first time these men and women who are “hiding in plain sight.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crown\/Archetype","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47045426479344,"sku":"9780307956651","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780307956651_p0.jpg?v=1769887992","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780307956651","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
