具体描述
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.

读后感
首先的大前提，作者认为“有些人就是没有良心”。 正常人的良心也是会沉睡的，可能因为身体因素，也可能因为权威。 ## 如何识别没有良心的人？ ## 没有良心的人喜欢装可怜。 ## 如果遇上没有良心的人，怎么应对？ ## 尽量避免和他们的接触和沟通。（这是作者的方式，但太...
评分看到书中对无良者（反社会人格者）的描述，脑袋里首先想到的是《发条橙》的男主角。记得当年在学校的阶梯教室里，我真是从头到尾嘴巴呈O形看完了整部电影。除了夸张的暴力美学、对贝多芬交响乐的恶搞，男主角亚历克斯的“可恶行径”和“丑恶嘴脸”已经完完全全超出了我对坏人能...
评分去年在得到app里，我曾听过林走解读的版本。 而在过去的这两三年里，新闻里出现了太多匪夷所思的案子， 江歌案、绿城保姆纵火案、红黄蓝事件、豫章书院…… 每一个“故事”都在不断挑战正常人的认知底线。 那么在这本书里呢，有一个核心观点——“目前的研究认为，大约有4%的人...
