About this deal

While both psychopaths and sociopaths share some common traits, they can differ in terms of their underlying motivations, behavioral patterns, and level of risk to others. About 1.2% of U.S. adult men and 0.3% to 0.7% of U.S. adult women are considered to have clinically significant levels of psychopathic traits. Those numbers rise exponentially in prison, where 15% to 25% of inmates show these characteristics (Burton, B., & Saleh, F. M., Psychiatric Times, Vol. 37, No. 10, 2020). That said, psychopathy spans socioeconomic status, race, gender, and culture, and those who score high on psychopathy scales range from high-functioning executives to prison inmates to people whose psychopathic symptoms may reflect difficult life circumstances more than anything else.

Snakes in Suits – When Psychopaths Go to Work by Dr. Paul Babiak and Dr. Robert D. Hare: This book examines the presence of psychopaths in the corporate world and how they can manipulate their way into positions of power. However, advocates of the nurture approach point to the role of upbringing and experiences in shaping psychopathic tendencies. Perfume occurs in 18th century France when a little boy named John Baptiste Grenouille. It is a very dark, disturbing, and visceral story. The book and film are pretty similar. John Baptiste was born into less-than-ideal circumstances. His mother was a fishmonger. They may engage in criminal or harmful behavior without experiencing any sense of regret or self-doubt. Thomas Harris has this serial killer break habit and almost becomes an entirely different character with different motivations. At the novel’s end, the killer doesn’t completely match the killer we see at the beginning. Overall, it is still a very well-done book and exciting to read.One thing is certain: psychopaths hold a particular sway in the cultural imagination. These audiobooks, both fiction and nonfiction, explore psychopathy from a variety of angles. You'll find classic novels with psychopathic characters as well as accounts by leading scientists and psychologists about what goes on inside the minds of psychopaths. And there's a memoir written by a diagnosed sociopath. Whether you're looking for a listen to help you better understand human behavior, a gripping thriller, or a creepy escape, you'll find it on this list.

Jean Baptiste was meant to live. His nose and his olfactory senses are so incredibly heightened. As he becomes more conscious of his surroundings, he can smell everything. He can smell a worm in a head of cabbage before it’s been cut open. Every cent is much more complex to him than a regular nose could interpret. John Wayne Gacy: An American serial killer and rapist who sexually assaulted, tortured, and murdered at least 33 young men and boys between 1972 and 1978. Gacy was known as the “Killer Clown” due to his charitable services at fundraising events, parades, and children’s parties, where he would dress as “Pogo the Clown.” In recent years, researchers have also identified a second group of youth with traits that look like precursors to psychopathy—those who display anger, hostility, and emotional volatility after experiencing serious traumas. That condition is sometimes called “secondary psychopathy.” We will take an insightful historical tour of the beginnings and development of psychopathy in psychology in this blog article. We'll learn what makes it unique and what makes these people different from the standard in society.
