Learn how to spot a liar and stay safe.
Approximately 12 million Americans, or one in twenty-five, are
sociopaths. But what does this statistic mean? What exactly is a
sociopath? What do they do to be labeled as such? And how many people
are affected by them? While everyday lying has become acceptable and
even socially necessary, it is often difficult to discover when someone
is manipulating you through lies or other actions. Since a sociopath has
no conscience, he or she feels no remorse about piling lie on top of lie
until, eventually, the façade comes crashing down and he or she is
exposed.
When Dr. Scott was warned about a film producer she had hired, she
confronted the woman, only to be fed explanations and excuses.
Eventually, Scott found that she had been the victim of this sociopath
for five years, along with many others. In this book, she delves into
medical research on sociopaths as well as interviews with sociopaths and
victims alike to provide a comprehensive picture of this mental
disorder. Lies and Liars also includes information about:

The types of lies told by sociopaths in different situations
