If you've ever been fascinated by evil people like Jeffrey Dahmer, it's definitely worth a read. The author estimates that about 2% of the US population is psychopathic.

I hope your writing will also address the vast number of psychopaths who have worked their way into positions of power. To me, they are far more dangerous than the Jeffrey Dahmers of the world if for no other reason than that their psychopathic tendencies are allowed to play out unchecked. By mimicking 'normal' behavior, these insidious folks find their way into positions where they can satisfy their need to exercise control over others from first-line supervisors to executive boardrooms.
