Description

Harvard psychologist Martha Stout reveals a startling truth: one in twenty-five people, or 4 percent of the population, are sociopaths, lacking the ability to feel guilt, shame, or remorse. These individuals, often charming and charismatic, can be found in all walks of life, including our workplaces and even our families, making them difficult to identify. Stout explores the subtle signs of sociopathy, differentiating it from common misconceptions and offering practical advice on how to recognize and protect yourself from those who operate without a conscience. This essential guide empowers readers to understand the "devil next door" and navigate relationships with those who are fundamentally indifferent to the suffering of others.
