This is a review of the audiobook version.
As the survivor of marriage to a person with a diagnosed narcissistic personality disorder, I was interested in this book. It helped me understand the distinction between NPD and sociopathy as well as helping me understand more about what happened to me. I particularly enjoyed the 13 Red Flags to watch out for. I appreciated that the author is careful to emphasize that anyone can fall under the influence of a sociopath, even a trained clinician!
The narrator, Shelly Frasier is perfect for this kind of non-fiction. She comes across as knowledgeable without being clinical or cold. The stories are narrated in a way that entertain and educate. She has taken some difficult material and made it accessible and easy to listen to. I listen at 1.2 speed, and the pacing was perfect.
I am glad I got this in the audio format. I think I had an easier time listening to it than I would have had reading it. I do wish a PDF of the 13 Red Flags was included with the audiobook.

Read this with a pen in my hand and felt like it taught me a lot about a subject I never would have thought I'd be so interested in. Coincidentally, I now suspect everyone I will meet to be a sociopath

Scary as hell. Until I read this book I could say I've never had a nightmare. I can't say that anymore.

I really loved this book. Listened to the audible version and it had me hooked! I would definitely recommend it to everyone. Not too depressing or upsetting either (as many books on this topic are)
