    "Evil Genes" indeed

    I keep going back to this book. You know how sometimes you just "know" there's something not quite right with someone? Barbara Oakley has lined up those little tidbits that make us wonder and produced a remarkable book. I look at people a little differently now...especially politicians

    Good read

    I bought this book after hearing the author interviewed on a pod-cast, Psychjourney, about her book. If you have an extremely difficult relative, spouse, boss, friend, teacher, etc.. you might want to check out this book.

    Really Quite Fascinating

    This book is a very in depth look at mental illness, specifically personality disorders, mostly as they relate to world leaders. She also throws in some personal history with a description of her sister. I found it fascinating and well written.

    Very Engrossing - good explanations for bad behavior!

    Hard to put down as you begin to understand why some people's brains are different, resulting in inhumane behaviors. Well written and easy to understand for a layperson. Very enlightening.
