Confessions of a Sociopath: A Life Spent Hiding in Plain Sight
Confessions of a Sociopath: A Life Spent Hiding in Plain Sight - M.E. Thomas (c)
Вы легко отвлекаетесь? Это всего лишь умение ориентироваться в ситуации. Вам постоянно нужна стимуляция и вы обожаете игры? Значит, вы любите риск, что часто вознаграждается в бизнесе. Если вы соединяете в себе склонность к манипулированию, нечестность, черствость, высокомерие, неумение справляться с инстинктивными побуждениями и другие черты социопата, то вы станете либо социально опасной личностью, либо великим предпринимателем. Роберт Хиар говорит, что самый верный признак «успешного социопата» – «хищнический дух», сопутствующий удачному бизнесу.
✦✧✦
К счастью, у социопатов есть хорошее качество – оптимизм и несокрушимая вера в свои силы, а также убежденность, что почти все в этой жизни можно исправить.
✦✧✦
Я испытывала неведомое раньше умиротворение. Такое чувство, что я наконец нашла надежную гавань, где можно укрыться от бури, бушевавшей вокруг меня так долго, что я уже не представляла себе, что значит плыть по морю в хорошую погоду и ощущать под ногами твердую почву. Оказавшись на уютном берегу, я отчетливо увидела, какой жалкой, продрогшей и промокшей была я, лишенная нормального человеческого общения, и мне очень не хотелось снова оказаться в бедственном положении. Вспоминая первые дни и недели с Энн, я всякий раз ощущаю острую боль. Одиночество никогда не бывает более невыносимым, чем когда оно заканчивается, потому что, борясь с ним, одинокий человек не замечает ужаса.

The Sociopath Next Door
The Sociopath Next Door - Martha Stout This book came up in a class I took a few years ago. The teacher mentioned that she was reading it and briefly discussed what she thought about it.

At that time I was working in a highly political environment and struggled to maintain my work-life balance while I wondered everyday: what is wrong with these people?

This book totally opened my eyes. Naive that I was, both in personal life and professional life, I have suffered an enormous amount of emotional turmoil. This book, while it may not be the topic of the month featured in Psychology Today, hammered a concept home for me: there are people, who are just really really really awful. They didn't hurt you because they wanted to. They hurt you because they never thought about anyone else other than themselves. If you are hurt along the way, well, you are the spoils of a war. They have no remorse, no sympathy, and no principle. If you are not them or their immediate inner cycle, you do not exist and do not deserve any consideration.

People like this do exist. I have met them. I used to feel victimized. I blamed myself for not "working it out". I tried to understand why they did what they did, to sympathize with them, to look for a hint of their humanity but to no avail. I thought: how could you do something like this? I would never.

But that is exactly the point: people with a conscience would never. The sociopaths next door, so totally would.

Legacy (Sociopath Book 2) - Lime Craven

Welcome back to the mad world that is Aeron and Leo!!! I went straight to book 2 after finishing the first. There were just too many things left open for me to ignore! I really liked getting more on Leo this book, you finally get to understand her character. I am all about the madness so I loved this!

Sociopath: A Dark Romance - Lime Craven

I haven't had a really dark and twisted book in a while! This was a little Q Mercer-ish...and we all know how I love a good psycho ha ha! Aeron was one of those characters that I love reading about, he was nuts! Smart and rich but totally nuts! I couldn't help but like Leo (the names in this book were over the top! I couldn't pronounce half of them so I just had to nickname them) because she fell for a crazy sociopath like Aeron. It takes a special woman to do that, right?!?! Straight to book 2, because I love the deranged=)
