The good news: I'm not a sociopath! I mean, you never know, Dr. Stout makes it very clear it could be ANYONE. But I live for love, even though it breaks you over and over again.
If you're looking for sensationalized stories of the evil that sociopaths do, this is not the book for you. While there are some incidental stories, the vast majority of the book deals with the psychology of sociopathy. And, quite honestly, it is a little repetitive. If you've ever taken an Intro to Psych class, a lot of it you'll be famililar with, but the insights into sociopathy in both an relational and societal context are quite interesting.
