The Sociopath Next Door

All right, so we're going to begin with a quote to set the stage.

And this is from the book, The Sociopath Next Door by Martha Stout.

And she says, begin quote, imagine if you can not having a conscience, none at all.

No feelings of guilt or remorse no matter what you do.

Who knows, especially nowadays, right? Because it's so hard to detect on some level.

And this is like a full-blown clinical psychopath, not just someone who has the traits or behaviors which we'll differentiate from later.

And by the way, if people have noticed, the book is from the sociopath next door, which we'll talk about shortly as well, the difference between sociopath and psychopath.

And sometimes, like in her case, people have used these words interchangeable, sociopath and psychopath.

If you want to read a fantastic book, Max and I recommend it all the time.

It's by Martha Stout and it's called The Sociopath Next Door.

So these people not only are lacking these fundamental human features of empathy and conscience, they don't believe you have it either.

They think you are just bullshit.
