Martha Stout, a 25 year Harvard psychologist, offers this book to help identify sociopaths. She has spent her career helping people who's lives have been terribly hurt by sociopaths. A sociopath is one who does not have a conscience. He or she feels no shame, guilt or remorse for his/her actions. Surprizing, 4% of the population have this condition. That is one in 25. To help put this into perspective, there is one sociopath in every classroom. Stout proposes a sociopathic-behavior checklist and suggested coping strategies.
