From the exact moment a sociopath is born, his brain is wired differently. His neurotransmitter systems shift out of balance, which formulaically alters his incentives. A sociopath reveals his hostile self-interest in economic games performed in the laboratory when he receives oxytocin, the bonding peptide. In prison, he uses group therapy as a form of feedback to test his ability to predict other people's mental states. Under neuroimaging, his brain's reward center activates when he watches people that he is envious of suffering. Incredibly, there is more than one kind of sociopath. Not types and subtypes of the disorder, but entirely distinct categories. A Sociopath Is Born provides a thorough analysis of each kind of sociopath, from his underlying neurophysiology to how he presents himself in society. Interspersed among these profiles are the remaining common personality types. A Sociopath Is Born provides readers with handpicked tools across multiple disciplines to determine other people's true intentions.
