A review by alisarae
The Sociopath Next Door by Martha Stout
LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH. I got it from the library, but the information in this book is incredibly valuable. People probably pay a couple hundred dollars for a psychology course at a college and don't learn as much as this 230 page book teaches, not to mention the economic, psychological, and emotional costs saved by protecting yourself from sociopaths in your life.
This book is not technical, I mean it's not like reading a scientific journal. It's hands-on and practical, though talking about sociopaths lacking a conscious invariably brings up philosophical and theological questions (that the author does a good job of contextualizing and discussing).
I'm planning to re-read this again and take notes this time. There's a lot of interesting material to ponder and digest, besides the more pratical tips in the book.
