Psychopath: Inside the Mind

by Paul Sorensen

Take a Glimpse Inside the Mind of a Psychopath...

When you first think of the term psychopath, the first thing that comes to mind for most people is the insane, insatiable serial killer. We expect the appearance of such a depraved individual to reflect the madness without. This couldn't be more wrong.

The truth is, that charming person who holds the door open for you at work all the time, the charismatic ex you have that everyone loves, but had a bit of a mean streak behind closed doors, the guy from college who loved extreme sports, or even your surgeon – they are all quite possibly psychopaths. And, unless you know them intimately, and know what you're looking for, it’s unlikely you'll ever spot it.

So, what is psychopath – really? How can you recognize it? Are they dangerous? Or do we as society actually really need them? How do we know if they're just a bad kid or could develop into something worse? This book will walk you through the history being psychopathy, how to recognize the signs, and what to do if you ever find yourself in a relationship with one. It also looks at new scientific developments and research into the condition, and profiles some of the ones that were truly evil – the world’s worst. Let’s hope your charming ex isn't one of those.

The book is captivating and interesting, but there are so many gramatical and typo errors - people can easily tell it was no proof-red and redacted. Also, there are many factual mistakes, like for example, it says that Ted Bundy was born in the year 1961, which is not true at all. The author also keeps referring to Charles Manson as Charles "Mason" at least a dozen times..... A book need to be checked for spelling mistakes and facts checked before being published - otherwise it can lose credibility. Other than that, great read

This book was so loaded down with grammatical errors that I finally had to stop reading it. And it would be nice to be consistent with Charles Manson's last name!

An informative quick read

This book gives a good basic understanding of what a psychopath is, then concludes with the stories of a few famous psychos.

Concise and Interesting

Interesting and concise yet thorough on what a psychopath is. It was long enough to provide a very good and fascinating summary of what it means to be a psychopath. I wish the author would have given a case study at the end of the book which was about a psychopath who was not violent, as he stated a number of times throughout the book that not all psychopaths are violent, and yet those are the only types of case study examples that were given at the end of the book. Also, it does not appear that the book was proof read. There are some spelling, etc. mistakes which should have been easily caught. Other than that, interesting book.

Lots of typos and incorrect dates

The over content and discussion raised by the book is great. Lots of potential to be interested. I had trouble trusting the content when necessary dates were incorrect. Also, I had a difficult time getting past the many typos. I don't think I would recommend this to others for that reason.
