Confessions of a Sociopath: a Life Spent Hiding in Plain Sight Reprint edition

A PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BEST OF 2013 STAFF PICK

As M. E. 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.?
  
Confessions of a Sociopath?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.?
