Book Reviews of The Sociopath Next Door
Book Review: "Living Well Is The Best Revenge" M.Stout
Summary: 4 Stars
What surprised me the most was the statistic this author gives that 4% of the population is sociopathic. This is one in four people who are with out a conscience. The author believes that some of these sociopaths are extremely dangerous and we should learn to recognize them, avoid them, and know how to defend oneself against them should you unsuspectedly be caught off gaurd...which according to the author is quite easy to do since they are often charming and seductive. She gives good advice on these three strategies supported by case studies which were very compelling to read. I think that a person who is weak, guilty, and codependent has a lot to learn from this book as they may be the most likely targets of sociopaths who seem to be pretty savvy at recognizing their victims weaknesses and then playing on them. For most, a little common sense, integrity, and self-confidence would be enough to intuitively keep these critters away. Nonetheless, a good, quick read that promotes awareness as well as providing a decent discussion on etiology. The psychology remains at a fairly introductory level making this book an accessible read for most.
