Publisher's Summary

Please Note: This is key takeaways and analysis of the book and not the original book.

Sociopaths comprise an alarming four percent of the population; that is, one in every 25 people is a sociopath. But this mental disorder is not well understood and many people fail to recognize it in others, which makes sociopaths difficult to identify and potentially very dangerous. It is urgent that people understand what a sociopath is and learn to recognize their revealing traits in order to protect themselves against these individuals who otherwise blend into the general population.

What is the point?

Why would anyone want to hear a short, 30 minute 'key takeaways, analysis and review'? I'd rather listen to the whole book. Don't waste your mula or your credit on this. Yes, the narration is not good either.

This is not a book - it's only a book review

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

MAKE IT CLEAR - this is not a book - it's simply someone reviewing it. And...in a hideous electronic voice.

What didn’t you like about Michael Gilboe’s performance?

I don't think it is even a person - hideous electronic voice. Not a book. Only a very brief and short review.

What character would you cut from The Sociopath Next Door: by Martha Stout?

Not applicable. This is not a book...it's only a brief book review, read very badly.

Any additional comments?

Buy the REAL BOOK!!!! This is not a book only a badly written electronically read review.

Thought this was the actual book: It is NOT!

I was recommended 'The Sociopath Next Door by Martha Stout.

This is not that book but rather only a review.
I would like to return this book for a full refund.

very disapointing.

I wish I read the reviews first

While listening to what I believed to be a really long book introduction it suddenly said thanks for listening. This is a poor review of a book with an incredibly misleading book cover, the fact that it is a summary is written in smaller text than the actual name of the book it’s summarizing. Definitely want a refundu

Misleading - not the actual book

Very misleading - thought I had purchased Martha’s book. Ironic really given the subject matter of the book.

don't buy this it isn't the book

Simply a summary only. People are being deceived by this and it's ironic given the subject matter. The author should be ashamed this is taking place.
