À propos de cet audio

The memoir of a neuroscientist whose research led him to a bizarre personal discovery, James Fallon had spent an entire career studying how our brains affect our behavior when his research suddenly turned personal.

While studying brain scans of several family members, he discovered that one perfectly matched a pattern he’d found in the brains of serial killers. This meant one of two things: Either his family’s scans had been mixed up with those of felons or someone in his family was a psychopath. Even more disturbing: The scan in question was his own. This is Fallon’s account of coming to grips with this discovery and its implications.

How could he, a happy family man who had never been prone to violence, be a psychopath? How much did his biology influence his behavior? Fallon shares his journey to answer these questions and the discoveries that ultimately led to his conclusion: Despite everything science can teach, humans are even more complex than we can imagine.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“As comprehensive as it is compelling, essential listening for understanding the genetic and neuroscience underpinnings of psychopathy.” (M. E. Thomas, author of Confessions of a Sociopath)

While sometimes painful listening to someone who is a self confessed asshole talk about his disregard for his friends and family, this book is a good reminder that nurture can make all the difference for someone with a potentially dangerous brain chemistry. It would be an important perspective for someone studying the behavior of psychopaths as so often the tale is told using violent offenders as the subject matter. Ultimately this book is exactly as advertised.

An important piece in the puzzle of psycopathy

The writer is pretentious, and the narration is a bit fast. It is just okay.

It's okay

I love psychology. but, when I'm listening to audiobooks I ten to be in a relaxed mode, usually doing some other simple chore at the same time (driving, cutting grass, house chores)...the narrator read this book so fast I actually had to check that I hadn't accidentally increased the speed on my settings.. being a strongly science based book, it's easier to absorb with a more regular cadence

a little overwhelming

Makes you realise just how much the brain and your upbringing has an influence on how you behave later in life.

Very interesting

I do think the book was good, not necessarily reader captivating great though. So at times it can seem dry to the average, non PhD reader. but some other parts are in normal, non dictionary required 🙄 language.

A very technical read

Great delve into the authors life and history as a "psychopath". If you find it fascinating to listen to a neuroscientist analyze his own actions and experiences through his life and how they intertwine with his brainscan that revealed he has a "Psychopath Brain" You will greatly enjoy this audiobook. Great Narration. #Audible1

Fantastic Book

I'm a psychotherapist and this book is an excellent view into a psychopathic mind, as well as an excellent overview of the details and complexities of how our brains work. There is sooooo much information here, in just a few short hours. I may listen to this again, with a notebook, or purchase a print version. Seriously, there is so much transferable knowledge here, to help us understand various tendencies, patterns, etc. I also appreciate that this is a personal story. The author has great scientific understanding and the ability to make it (more or less) make sense to me, however in addition to that he is candid about his 'faults' and about his willingness to learn new things and experiment with new ways of relating to those important to him. This book has given me much more understanding of the aspects of psychopathy and how I can better support not just such clients I have, but also all my clients and all those in my life who have traits that I have perceived as 'faults' and yet are simply characteristics that warrant a different approach. Definitely recommend this book if you're interested in how the brain works! And when you don't take it personally, it's a great, easy listen, spoke by an intelligent, witty, energized, arrogant narcissist!

Excellent Personal & Scientific Perspective

The further along we get that is. I am not alone and explains so much.

WoW I am feeling more relieved

Dr. Fallon's account of self discovery is one which some readers might find interesting, however it is loaded with scientific jargon that will make large portions of the book difficult to access for many readers. The narrator has a good voice and performs the reading well, and there are no issues with the recording.

Interesting but Challenging

Great narration and very interesting. Some of it went over my head but I still learned alot. Makes me question my own social tendances.

Very technical, brutally honest self evaluation.
