The Psychopath Inside: A Neuroscientist's Personal Journey into the Dark Side of the Brain

â€œCompelling, essentialÂ reading for understanding theÂ underpinnings of psychopathy.â€Â â€” M. E. Thomas, authorÂ of Confessions of a Sociopath

For his first fifty-eight years, James Fallon wasÂ by all appearances a normal guy. A successfulÂ neuroscientist and professor, heâ€™d been raisedÂ in a loving family, married his high schoolÂ sweetheart, and had three kids and lots ofÂ friends. Then he learned a shocking truth thatÂ would not only disrupt his personal and professionalÂ life, but would lead him to questionÂ the very nature of his own identity.

While researching serial killers, he uncovered aÂ pattern in their brain scans that helped explainÂ their cold and violent behavior. Astonishingly,Â his own scan matched that pattern. And a fewÂ months later he learned that he was descendedÂ from a long line of murderers. Fallon set out toÂ reconcile the truth about his own brain withÂ everything he knew as a scientist about theÂ mind, behavior, and personality.
