Similar to the bestselling Sociopath Next Door comes a unique look at the psychopaths among us and how our society--from kindergarten to corporations--encourages and rewards psychotic behavior, and what average citizens can do to survive and thrive when we must live with, learn from, or be lead by sociopaths. Psychiatrists estimate that 1 percent of the adult population are psychopaths. That's about two million Americans. And they are our bosses, our politicians, our priests, and our neighbors. And they are running our economy and our lives. Every day in the news we hear about people in positions of power doing deplorable things--in business, politics, and government, from sexual harassment to polluting the environment to covering up crimes. And it's no wonder considering a small percentage of people wield a large amount of power, and that these very same people fit the definition of a "psychopath." A highly engaging and gripping read, Cameron Reilly's book adds to our growing understanding of sociopaths with a detailed analysis of how our society encourages and rewards psychopathic tendencies, and how, because of this, psychopaths the world over have risen to power. Using historical references to pop culture examples, Reilly offers a field guide to psychopaths--how to spot them and how to outmaneuver them so you can keep your sanity in tact. This is the first-of-its-kind book to examine the shocking evidence and then suggest practical solutions for saving us all.

Do you suffer from stress, anxiety, guilt, anger or fear? Would you love to discover a simple, effective program for living without these negative, debilitating emotions? This book was written for those people who aren't satisfied with the answers offered by religion or self-help gurus. It introduces a philosophy for life that is based on hard scientific facts about chemistry and physics (but doesn't require the reader to have a knowledge of either). The "three illusions" mentioned in the title are the illusions of Free Will, the illusion of Time and the illusion of Identity. Using simple scientific explanations, this book will help you to gain a deeper understanding of your true identity and explain why, though it might sometimes seem as if life isn't going according to plan, everything is happening exactly as it must.
