Most people are both repelled and intrigued by the images of cold-blooded, conscienceless murderers that increasingly populate our movies, television programs, and newspaper headlines. With their flagrant criminal violation of society's rules, serial killers like Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy are among the most dramatic examples of the psychopath.

Story
In 2015, Barbara Lipska - a leading expert on the neuroscience of mental illness - was diagnosed with melanoma that had spread to her brain. Within months, her frontal lobe, the seat of cognition, began shutting down. She descended into madness, exhibiting dementia- and schizophrenia-like symptoms that terrified her family and coworkers. But miraculously, the immunotherapy her doctors had prescribed worked quickly. Just eight weeks after her nightmare began, Lipska returned to normal. With one difference: she remembered her brush with madness with exquisite clarity.

Story
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 25, 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 25 everyday Americans, therefore, is secretly a sociopath.

Story
Narcissism is an overwhelming and confusing topic. By nature, it's designed to keep you trapped in shame-based vertigo. It doesn’t just go away because you know it exists. Narcissism creates a set of beliefs, behaviors, and paradigms in its target which must be changed from the inside. Using an inside-out approach, How to Kill a Narcissist presents seven practices for recovery and healing, each designed to instill you with independence, strength, emotional resilience, and awareness, while allowing you to cultivate balanced, loving relationships and pursue a life of passion.

Do you suspect that your partner, parent, or friend is a narcissist? Maybe, you have been aware that your significant other has been a narcissist for some time, but you don’t know how to break free from the relationship. Regardless of the situation that you are in at present, having a narcissist in your life is emotionally, psychologically, and physically draining. Narcissists are incapable of showing empathy.

Publisher's Summary
We know of psychopaths from chilling headlines and stories in the news and movies - from Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy to Hannibal Lecter and Dexter Morgan. As Dr. Kent Kiehl shows, psychopaths can be identified by a checklist of symptoms that includes pathological lying; lack of empathy, guilt, and remorse; grandiose sense of self-worth; manipulation; and failure to accept one’s actions. But why do psychopaths behave the way they do? Is it the result of their environment - how they were raised - or is there a genetic component to their lack of conscience?
This is the question Kiehl, a protégé of famed psychopath researcher Dr. Robert Hare, was determined to answer as he began his career 20 years ago. To aid in his quest to unravel the psychopathic mind, Kiehl created the first mobile functional MRI scanner to study psychopaths in prison populations. The brains of more than 500 psychopaths and 3,000 other offenders have been scanned by Kiehl’s laboratory - the world’s largest forensic neuroscience repository of its kind. Over the course of The Psychopath Whisperer, we follow the scientific bread crumbs that Kiehl uncovered to show that the key brain structures that correspond with emotional engagement and reactions are diminished in psychopaths, offering new clues to how to predict and treat the disorder.
In The Psychopath Whisperer, Kiehl describes in fascinating detail his years working with psychopaths and studying their thought processes - from the remorseless serial killers he meets with behind bars to children whose behavior and personality traits exhibit the early warning signs of psychopathy.
A compelling narrative of cutting-edge science, The Psychopath Whisperer will open your eyes on a fascinating but little-understood world, with startling implications for society, the law, and our personal lives.

a compelling listen
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The narration was pleasing (although the splice edits sometimes a little stilted) and the content was fascinating from start to finish. The writing style and storytelling was beautifully interspersed with deep dive scientific details.

Enjoyable and informative
This is like a memoir, a true-crime book and a science book all in one. Never dull or dry. I have a better understanding of what a psychopath is from reading this book. Recommended.

Excellent Listen
Informative, witty, at times funny. Great book! It’s very interesting to learn the latest science on psychopaths. As an academic, I also appreciated the story of the academic career.

Fascinating, Excellent & Informative
I couldn't stop listening.
This was an enlightening and entertaining story.
It kept you informed on old and new science breakthroughs regarding mental health and psychopathy and at the same time it was written in parallel with one man's life journey through inspiration, challenges and success.
I didn't want it to end.
I've always been interested in psychology and this book was a perfectly packaged listen for that.
The narration was spot on.

Looking for a book about psychopaths? You found it!
Like many people I find myself oddly interested in psychopaths. Psychopaths simultaneously terrify and make me jealous.
In this book you learn details of how psychopaths think and conduct themselves with examples of interactions the author has with many psychopaths over his years or research. Thea stories range from hilarious to horrific and everything in between.
You also get a glimpse into his research and how he went about it which was a surprisingly interesting aspect of the book.
If you’re looking to read about psychopaths, this book is a great way to do it.
