Confessions of a Sociopath: A Life Spent Hiding in Plain Sight

<p><b>A <i>PUBLISHERS WEEKLY</i> BEST OF 2013 STAFF PICK<br></b><br>As M.E. Thomas says of her fellow sociopaths, &quot;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.&quot;<br> <br><i>Confessions of a Sociopath</i> - 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 &quot;hiding in plain sight.&quot;<br><br>Now with Extra Libris material, including a reader's guide and bonus content</p>
