again, i cant rate autobiographies. its... weird and innapropiate for me to judge others life, HOWEVER; i had suffered lots of sociopaths in my life and hearing the other side intrigued me but also disgusted me. also, at the end of the book i was feeling sorry for her and... um, no.

This book in many ways was life changing, I enjoyed the antidotes and perspectives. However, I also felt at times like I was reading a person's dissertation; the work is full of quotes and references to other material, and less full of stories of the writers own life. Additionally, the author was clearly writing the book to make the point that not all Sociopaths are evil, which I already knew and agreed with. Lastly, it felt like th4 author had an al.ost vendetta against empathy and often didnt apply her own logical abilities towards them.
Never the less, I greatly enjoyed this book and am glad to have it amongst my collections.

An okay, self aggrandizing and somewhat repetitive read, by a woman who claims that there may be a whole spectrum of people who may be undiagnosed sociopaths. She calls for behavioural empathy training for those with early childhood identification of being sociopaths to help them utilize their best life chances to be better able to contribute to society in a more positive manner. More controversial is her advocating for two role models for a sociopath identified child; one an empath and the other a high functioning sociopath. Interesting descriptions of how the sociopaths brains are wired differently. 2.5
