Confessions of a Sociopath
Author: M.E. Thomas
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 0307956660
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
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.”

The Psychopath Inside

Pages : 208
Book Description
“Compelling, essential reading for understanding the underpinnings of psychopathy.” — M. E. Thomas, author of Confessions of a Sociopath For his first fifty-eight years, James Fallon was by all appearances a normal guy. A successful neuroscientist and professor, he’d been raised in a loving family, married his high school sweetheart, and had three kids and lots of friends. Then he learned a shocking truth that would not only disrupt his personal and professional life, but would lead him to question the very nature of his own identity. While researching serial killers, he uncovered a pattern in their brain scans that helped explain their cold and violent behavior. Astonishingly, his own scan matched that pattern. And a few months later he learned that he was descended from a long line of murderers. Fallon set out to reconcile the truth about his own brain with everything he knew as a scientist about the mind, behavior, and personality.

Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
In the right hands, cosmetic or plastic surgery can become a work of beauty and a tremendous boost to a person’s self-esteem.

Scone provides tools and strategies to help others find the right cosmetic surgeon. The Ultimate Violation details Scone’s journey to seek justice and overcome the embarrassment, shame, and humiliation he experienced at the hands of an unethical surgeon.

Tighter Wind the Giant Coils

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 387
Book Description
How do Jacksonville homicide detectives determine the killer of the city's most prominent cardiothoracic surgeon when it turns out, surprisingly, nearly everyone associated with the doctor is a sociopath? It's 1995, and superficially, Dr. Mason Cooper would appear to have it all--a beautiful wife, a successful career, and a sterling community reputation. So when his body is discovered under the dock of his estate home along the St. Johns River, it seems there would be few suspects. Not so. Is it his stately and sophisticated wife, Lydia, who has conspired to kill Mason? Or is it his mistress and coworker, Kendra Taylor, bent on revenge? Or is it Presbyterian Hospital's newly hired cardiothoracic surgeon, Dr. Lance Barton, whose reputation Cooper meant to destroy? Or is it Presbyterian's CEO, Brad Spence, who is determined to wrest control of Cooper's practice and consolidate his power at the hospital? Or is it Dr. Robert Edwards, the anesthesiologist who has been the object of Cooper's relentless bullying since arriving in Jacksonville the year before? Finally, it's about Dr. Jacob Fleckert, Jacksonville's renowned forensic pathologist, who had discerned the killer's identity, but he has his own reasons for not disclosing what he knows to his detective friend. Secrets abound as nearly everyone has a hidden past, and nearly everyone has at least one motive--money, sex, or revenge--for wanting Cooper dead. Interwoven into the story are true historical notes and personages of Jacksonville and that area of northeastern Florida in 1995, an area that is really more Deep South than typical Florida. It is a story that has enough twists and turns to keep the reader guessing the who how and why until the very end, and it is certain to have the reader going back to find the missed clues.

The Wisdom of Psychopaths
Author: Kevin Dutton
Publisher: Doubleday Canada
ISBN: 0385677197
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
Psychopath. The word conjurs up images of serial killers, rapists, suicide bombers, gangsters. But think again: you could probably benefit from being a little more psychopathic yourself. Psychologist Kevin Dutton has made a speciality of psychopathy, and is on first-name terms with many notorious killers. But unlike those incarcerated psychopaths, and all those depicted in movies and crime fiction, most are not violent, he explains. In fact, says Prof Dutton, they have a lot of good things going for them. Psychopaths are fearless, confident, charismatic and focused--qualities tailor-made for success in today's society. The Wisdom of Psychopaths is an intellectual rollercoaster ride that combines lightning-hot science with unprecedented access to secret monasteries, Special Forces training camps, and high-security hospitals. In it, you will meet serial killers, war heroes, financiers, movie stars and attorneys--and discover that beneath the hype and popular characterization, psychopaths have something to teach us. Like the knobs on a mixing deck, psychopathy is graded. And finding the right combination of psychopathic traits, sampled and mixed at carefully calibrated volumes, can put us ahead of the game.
