Confessions of a Sociopath

By Edward Adrian Wilson

No Customer Reviews

The memoir of a high-functioning, law-abiding (well, mostly) sociopath and a roadmap--right from the source--for dealing with the sociopath in your life.
"[A] gripping and important book . . . revelatory . . . quite the memorable roller coaster ride."--The New York Times Book Review

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; and scientific literature to unveil for the very first time these men and women who are "hiding in plain sight."

This book will either bring relatable revelations within the reader, or disgusted indignation with the writer—depending the mind of the reader. Either way, you're in for a superb read. From childhood to adulthood, Thomas sheds not a strictly positive or negative light on sociopaths, but a true and unflinching one. In my own opinion, Thomas is alluring and intelligent, and many will despise this. Read the book.
