Reviews"Fascinating...part memoir, part psychological treatise, and entirely not to be trusted." -- Boston Globe "The goal of Confessions is to redefine sociopathy--or at least to shake off the stigma associated with it. And Thomas accomplishes both. Through her honest portrayal of herself as a highly capable yet deeply flawed individual, she demystifies her disorder." -- Scientific American "Fascinating stuff, and Thomas delivers...riveting...chilling...Her incisive observations about human nature can be breathtakingly pointed." -- Cleveland Plain Dealer "An essential, unprecedented memoir...intelligent, measured...Her arguments against using the diagnosis as an indicator of evil or a pre-emptive reason to imprison are a slam-dunk. This is a critical addition to narratives of mental illness, deepened by the awareness that we're reading someone whose most intense motivation is 'acquisition, retention, and exploitation of power'." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review "Fascinating and compelling as well as chilling, Thomas' memoir offers a window into the mind of a portion of the population that usually remains shrouded in mystery and fear." -- Booklist , starred review "[Thomas] invites us into her courtroom, classroom and bedroom to witness how her behavior has stunted her work life and made her love life difficult...Much here is chilling, but there are also cracks that make you ache for her....A work of advocacy for greater awareness of sociopathy's reach and conduct." -- Kirkus Reviews, Praise for Confessions of a Sociopath "[A] gripping and important book...revelatory...quite the memorable roller coaster ride."-- New York Times Book Review "[F]ascinating...part memoir, part psychological treatise, and entirely not to be trusted."-- Boston Globe "The goal of Confessions is to redefine sociopathy--or at least to shake off the stigma associated with it.

SynopsisThe memoir of a high-functioning, law-abiding (well, mostly) sociopath and a roadmap--right from the source--for dealing with the sociopath in your life. "[A] gripping and important book . . . revelatory . . . quite the memorable roller coaster ride."-- The New York Times Book Review As M.E. Thomas says of her fellow sociopaths, "We are your neighbors, your coworkers, and quite possibly the people closest to you: lovers, family, friends. Our risk-seeking behavior and general fearlessness are thrilling, our glibness and charm alluring. Our often quick wit and outside-the-box thinking make us appear intelligent--even brilliant. We climb the corporate ladder faster than the rest, and appear to have limitless self-confidence. Who are we? We are highly successful, noncriminal sociopaths and we comprise 4 percent of the American population." Confessions of a Sociopath --part confessional memoir, part primer for the curious--takes readers on a journey into the mind of a sociopath, revealing what makes them tick while debunking myths about sociopathy and offering a road map for dealing with the sociopaths in your life. M. E. Thomas draws from her own experiences as a diagnosed sociopath; her popular blog, Sociopathworld; and scientific literature to unveil for the very first time these men and women who are "hiding in plain sight.", The memoir of a high-functioning, law-abiding (well, mostly) sociopath and a roadmap--right from the source--for dealing with the sociopath in your life.

A First (I think)
A most interesting look into the subject. And, most compelling - written by a very courageous and articulate woman, who, long ago, identified and accepted her behavior differences, without having to degrade herself, in the process. Anyone reading this piece, who knows one of more of these people, will gain much, and have to consider farther-reaching questions that even the highest-level PHD.'s have yet, to ask, that broaden the 'spectrum' and range of the accompanying traits and behaviors, and their effects on society.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
