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.

评分电子书分享: http://url.cn/JdT4nO。 书名是,Sociopath next door,昨天不造怎么在网上碰到了这本书,就拿来看下去了(还不干正事,快哭了都)。写书作者是个临床心理医师(去查了下wiki百科,发现她还写了好几个别的作品)。本书的内容有讲故事的部分,也有较严肃的学术说明...
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...
评分我是建议所有混社会的小朋友都能至少起码读一遍这本书。 我职场中遇到的最BT的一位女客户是这样的。 三周以前,她电话挖我跳槽。我当时以私人关系进了新公司,未过试用期。我婉言谢绝这位BT的邀约。 三周后我们公司与这位客户所在的公司有了合作关系。 我们有一份类似合同...
