She's admitting she's a "sociopath" on the cover. Why should we expect one line of the book to be true?
She has no incentive not to lie (moral guilt) and all the incentive to embellish (profit).
- Afforess 13y agoEven if the entire book is embellishment and lies, at the very least, the book should reveal a sociopath as they wish to be viewed, which in itself is interesting.
- a3voices 13y agoIt reminds me of American Psycho. Patrick Bateman cares so much about his presentation and appearance, but others just see him as a huge dork.
- grimtrigger 13y agoTrue. And my belief is that "successful" "happy" and "satisfied" are all things which she wants to signal (just like most of non-"sociopaths"). So using her testimony as evidence for living her lifestyle is silly.
- lwhi 13y agoShe sounds more like a narcissist to me.
- varjag 13y agoOne can be both..
- freyr 13y agoAccording to the description in the article, it's essentially a prerequisite.
- mst 13y agoWhich, given ME's hatred for narcissists, is a pretty good demonstration that the author of the article selected the quotes to his own bias rather than to provide a balanced view of the book's content.
