The psychopath inside : a neuroscientist's personal journey into the dark side of the brain
Fallon, James H.2014
Book
James Fallon was, by all appearances, a normal man. A successful neuroscientist and professor, he'd been raised in a loving family, married his school sweetheart and had three kids. Then he learned a shocking truth that would not only disrupt his life, but would lead him to question his very own identity. While researching serial killers, he uncovered a pattern in their brain scans that helped explain their cold and violent behaviour. Astonishingly, his own scan matched the pattern. Here, Fallon uses his own personal journey as he investigates psychopathic behaviour to show its wider causes.
