There is another sociopath book...

This one was the first book of its type that I bought a few years ago.

It discusses the "lazy" sociopath. And this type chooses to mooch off others. Has no conscience, etc. There are many types of psychopath/sociopath... aggressive, lazy, manipulative, etc.
All have different goals, but basically no conscience.
Snakes in Suits only goes into what happens in the business arena. There are many many sociopaths/psychopaths who do NOT end up in jail, or are not murderers, but they are destructive in other ways.

This book even has a example of a woman who stole a psychologist's identity and posed as one and terrorized her "patients"! Based on a true story!

Different psychologists over the years have researched these toxic behaviors, so the terms used may overlap or vary. But reading about them is very interesting.

Dr. Hare's other book is called Without Conscience. It is paperback and affordable. (he is the coauthor of Snakes in Suits).

I find this subject very interesting, esp after I had to fend one off in my real life! I also found them in my work environment..and the only solution there was for me to
escape/leave. Sociopaths/psychopaths understand that most people extend trust and acceptance easily, and are not self protective. That is how they get into your life and cause mayhem!
