Imagine if you could say things and interact with people unrestricted by conscience. If you had an unfettered capacity for risk, engaged in irresponsible behavior, and felt it unnecessary to conform to social norms. For this to happen one of two things is usually true, either you are a politician a or a sociopath....or maybe even a trial lawyer.
And then imagine if these things could be combined? Then you would have M.E. Thomas. She’s a trial lawyer, a law professor and an admitted sociopath.
In her just published memoir, Confessions of a Sociopath: A Life Spent Hiding in Plain Sight,
she shows us that all sociopaths are not Hannibal Lecter, but they do have many of the same traits.My conversation with M.E. Thomas
