Praise for The Sociopath Next Door: "A fascinating, important book about what makes good people good and bad people bad, and how good people can protect themselves from those others." -Harold S. Kushner, author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People, "A fascinating, important book about what makes good people good and bad people bad, and how good people can protect themselves from those others." -Harold S. Kushner, author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People "The Sociopath Next Door is a chillingly accurate portrayal of evil--the decent person's guide to indecency." -Jonathan Kellerman "A remarkable philosophical examination of the phenomenon of sociopathy and its everyday manifestations…Stout's portraits make a striking impact and readers with unpleasant neighbors or colleagues may find themselves paying close attention to her sociopathic-behavior checklist and suggested coping strategies. Deeply thought-provoking and unexpectedly lyrical." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "A chilling portrait of human beings who lack scruples the way someone born blind lacks eyesight…Stout describes respected professionals who tell outrageous lies simply to confuse colleagues… authority figures who deceive, seduce and even murder just to relieve the boredom that is the usual state of the sociopathic mind. A useful-if appalling-guide to help you recognize conscienceless individuals.. [and] a heartening affirmation of the empathic mindset that comes naturally to the vast majority of humans." -Martha Beck, O Magazine "The Sociopath Next Door is a chillingly accurate portrayal of evilthe decent person's guide to indecency. Martha Stout draws upon sound scientific data and clinical experience and her writing is graceful and compelling." -Jonathan Kellerman, author of Therapy , When the Bough Breaks , and Monste r.

Synopsis
Who is the devil you know? Is it your lying, cheating ex-husband? Your sadistic high school gym teacher? Your boss who loves to humiliate people in meetings? The colleague who stole your idea and passed it off as her own? In the pages of The Sociopath Next Door, you will realize that your ex was not just misunderstood. He's a sociopath. And your boss, teacher, and colleague? They may be sociopaths too. We are accustomed to think of sociopaths as violent criminals, but in The Sociopath Next Door, Harvard psychologist Martha Stout reveals that a shocking 4 percent of ordinary people-one in twenty-five-has an often undetected mental disorder, the chief symptom of which is that that person possesses no conscience. He or she has no ability whatsoever to feel shame, guilt, or remorse. One in twenty-five everyday Americans, therefore, is secretly a sociopath. They could be your colleague, your neighbor, even family. And they can do literally anything at all and feel absolutely no guilt. How do we recognize the remorseless? One of their chief characteristics is a kind of glow or charisma that makes sociopaths more charming or interesting than the other people around them. They're more spontaneous, more intense, more complex, or even sexier than everyone else, making them tricky to identify and leaving us easily seduced. Fundamentally, sociopaths are different because they cannot love. Sociopaths learn early on to show sham emotion, but underneath they are indifferent to others' suffering. They live to dominate and thrill to win. The fact is, we all almost certainly know at least one or more sociopaths already. Part of the urgency in reading The Sociopath Next Door is the moment when we suddenly recognize that someone we know-someone we worked for, or were involved with, or voted for-is a sociopath. But what do we do with that knowledge? To arm us against the sociopath, Dr. Stout teaches us to question authority, suspect flattery, and beware the pity play. Above all, she writes, when a sociopath is beckoning, do not join the game. It is the ruthless versus the rest of us, and The Sociopath Next Door will show you how to recognize and defeat the devil you know., Who is the devil you know? Is it your lying, cheating ex-husband? Your sadistic high school gym teacher? Your boss who loves to humiliate people in meetings? The colleague who stole your idea and passed it off as her own?

The DVD is in great condition and plays just fine. I wanted to make sure before I posted this feedback. These movies, but specifically this one are really hard to find, especially in English, so I'm very greatful that I managed to get one. Pricing was reasonable, shipping so-so. Thank you again.

  • Perfect Title

    This book is fascinating and validates many experiences that I have had with what I call preditors. Interestingly the Author Martha Stout, ph.d. calls these types of individuals preditors too. I have noticed as she stated in her book, that these types of people seem to be almost the social norm in certain demographic groups such as the United States. I wondered why that is for some time and this book has a good explanation as to why. There is cultural references to the condition of sociopathy in this book. There literally are people without conscious. It is hard to believe but so very true. This book has validated what I have felt for a long time now, and yet it offers hope for the future that those of us with a heart will overcome tyranny and oppression from those without ...

  • Maybe the the most important book to read and keep in your bookcase. Give it to those you care about as a gift. Astounding how common this is.

    Truly fantastic book! Extremely well researched with credible author revealing frightening statistics about this unbelievably common diagnosis. Have bought this book for others as it is so pertinent to people they know. Learn to recognize a sociopath and save yourself a lifetime of grief! I guarantee you you will know one and not realize it. My husband read my book before I got to it and he was completely enthralled and raved about it as a 'must read!' This author goes into a tremendous amount of detail and research plus a lifetime of experience dealing with sociopaths. Had I know this book was out there, I would've read it decades ago and my life would've gone a lot better. We were conned by a family member out of about 800k in retirement money leaving us almost wiped out, and ...

  • The Sociopath Next Door by Martha Stout

    I discovered by accident that the woman of my dreams, the one whom I married twice and divorced twice is a stone-cold sociopath. My two divorces cost me a small fortune but now I have a chance at redemption in a new life! The main difference between those who love and those who are incapable of love is a heart. Sociopaths have ice water in their veins and they only care for and about themselves. They are the best actors at mimicking real human emotions when they have none! They are completely devoid of empathy, real emotional attachment and they believe that everyone and everything in the world is their exclusive property. Do not challenge them or you could find yourself in real danger. They are not all Ted Bundy's but they are the worst kind of thieves...always looking ...

  • Worth Every penny!

    You probably know a sociopath and don't realize it. Can you think of someone who lies for no reason? Someone who finds a way to blame others for their behavior? Someone who can act like the nicest person in the world, then turn on you with a viciousness that is shocking? Do you know someone who can turn tears on and off on command? Then you know a sociopath. I bought this book for myself and my family to help us understand and cope with a brother who is a sociopath. My mother thinks he's just misunderstood, that's only because he hasn't turned on her - yet. With the help of this excellent book, I've FINALLY convinced my other siblings to treat this brother like a tornado. When you see him coming, just try to get out of his way. Accept the fact that he will ...

  • This book opened my eyes about the monster I've lived with for 20 yrs.

    I purchased this book when I realized that the man I have been with for the last 20 yrs is one. When I met him, sociopathy was not well known so I looked for every excuse as to what could be wrong with him. Educating myself many yrs later with research into the subject of a sociopath opened my eyes and I realized what I was dealing with. This book has helped me immensely because now I know just how to handle the situation I'm in. He has taken my money, my health, my life as I knew it away from me. He has destroyed me. I have gone from being a beautiful, vibrant, healthy woman to someone who is broke, looks years beyond her age, and sickly. I went from a size 12 to a size 2, have no contact with loved ones, and am verbally/psychologically abused on a hourly/daily basis and am treated for ...
