About This Book

What You Will Learn

The Sociopath Next Door is a guide to recognizing and protecting yourself from individuals with antisocial personality traits, the people who move through ordinary life without the conscience, guilt, or empathy that most people take for granted. Sociopaths and narcissists share significant overlap, but sociopathy involves a more complete absence of remorse that makes these individuals distinctively dangerous.

This book helps you identify the markers of antisocial personality in everyday settings, including relationships, workplaces, and social circles. You will learn how sociopaths charm, manipulate, and discard without the supply-driven motivation of narcissists, and what that means for how you should respond.

What Is Inside
  • How to recognize antisocial personality traits in ordinary people
  • The key behavioral differences between narcissism and sociopathy

  • How sociopaths target, groom, and exploit their victims

  • The relationship between sociopathy and the broader dark triad

If you have ever encountered someone who seemed utterly unbothered by the damage they caused, this book will help you understand why and, more importantly, how to protect yourself from ever being in that position again.
