Have you ever been in a relationship with a psychopath? Chances are, even if you did, you would never know it. Psychopaths are cunning charmers and master manipulators, to the point where you start to accept the most extreme behaviors as normal… Even if it hurts you. All around us, every single day, human beings devoid of empathy are wreaking havoc and destroying lives in the coldest, most heartless ways imaginable. In constant pursuit of money, sex, influence, or simple entertainment, psychopaths will do whatever it takes to gain power over others. They hide behind a veil of normalcy, arranging their friends and partners like pawns in a game of chess. Using false praise and flattery to get what they want, they can lure any unsuspecting target into a relationship. Once hooked, their charming promises spin into mind games and psychological torture. Victims are left devastated and confused, unable to recognize—or even put into words—the nightmare that just took place. This significantly expanded edition of Psychopath Free contains new chapters, updated content, and real survivor experiences. Written from the heart, it is the first guide for survivors written by a survivor, offering hope for healing and thriving after psychopathic abuse. Say goodbye to the chaos, self-doubt, and victimization. You are free.

Although I found this book insightful, it mainly focused on signs and recover of a romantic relationship with a psychopath/sociopath. I was really hoping the topic would be broader and include co-worker’s, a waiter, friend, etc.
This was a nice overview and makes a great relationship recovery book. It offers a Psychopath Test in the back of the book to help discern how likely you are dealing with a psychopath, and a list of Red Flags of narcissists/sociopaths warning signs.
What I did gain from this book however, was learning more about how likely I would become a victim based on the highly detailed personality test at the end of the book. (Via a website that you input your answers on and gives you your results.)
I actually found this test to be surprisingly accurate. It made me more aware of some of my own weaknesses and how that could make me an easy target overall.
Psychopath Free may was not the book I was expecting it to be, but I did walk away gaining some self awareness in the end.
