This book isn’t a confession or a cry for help. It’s an inside look at how someone with Antisocial Personality Disorder sees and understands the world. Not the version you find in textbooks or movies, but the real one. Thoughts, impulses, love, control, morality, all stripped down to what they actually feel like from the inside.
You’ll see how I was wired, how I learned, how I loved, and what I believe. But along the way, you’ll start noticing your own patterns reflected back at you.
By the time you reach the end, you won’t just understand me, you’ll understand the version of you that built me while reading.
The tagline was more provocative than the actual book itself. While an entertaining read, it felt more like someone's idea of a psychopath as opposed to being written by an actual psychopath. I appreciated the "author" not going with the violent typical characterization of a psychopath that media tends to go with. Overall not a bad quick read.
There was an episode in House MD where a woman was admitted and later they found out that she was a psychopath, ever since that episode I've been fascinated with how the minds of psychopaths work. then i was recommended this book and it's... interesting to say the least : )
I usually don't read books like these but I strangely liked it. English isn't my first language but I had no problem understanding it. It was easy to understand the author's point of view in life better than any other psychology book out there.
one of the best things i’ve ever read. i could have read a thousand more pages because it was so interesting. every word felt incredibly deliberate and useful. nothing felt wasted. really truly loved this one
The book makes you question certain situations, life decisions and what you believe. It’s a nice, short read that takes you on a journey that I thought was highly enjoyable.
