ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Sociopath Next Door by Martha Stout explores the unsettling reality that individuals without conscience, known as sociopaths, are not confined to fictional villains but exist in our daily lives. The book delves into the psychological makeup of these individuals, highlighting their lack of guilt or remorse and their manipulative tendencies. It examines how their hidden nature can lead to significant harm in personal relationships and society, while also discussing the characteristics of those with a strong moral compass.
