M. E. Thomas is a high-functioning non-criminal sociopath. She is
charismatic, ambitious and successful. You would be charmed by her
if you met her, might even be seduced by her. You would not realise
that she is studying you to find your flaws, that she is ruthlessly
manipulative, has no empathy and does not feel guilt or remorse.
But she does like people - she likes to touch them, mould them and
ruin them. She could be your friend or your boss. She could be you
...Now she writes with breathtaking honesty about her life. She
also draws on the latest research to explain why at least one in
twenty-five of us are sociopaths - and shows why that's not a bad
thing. By turns fascinating, shocking and funny, Confessions of a
Sociopath is a gripping insight into the mind of a self-confessed
predator.
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."
