“Compelling, essential?reading for understanding the?underpinnings of psychopathy.”?- M. E. Thomas, author?of Confessions of a Sociopath For his first fifty-eight years, James Fallon was?by all appearances a normal guy. A successful?neuroscientist and professor, he?d been raised?in a loving family, married his high school?sweetheart, and had three kids and lots of?friends. Then he learned a shocking truth that?would not only disrupt his personal and professional?life, but would lead him to question?the very nature of his own identity. While researching serial killers, he uncovered a?pattern in their brain scans that helped explain?their cold and violent behavior. Astonishingly,?his own scan matched that pattern. And a few?months later he learned that he was descended?from a long line of murderers. Fallon set out to?reconcile the truth about his own brain with?everything he knew as a scientist about the?mind, behavior, and personality.
