Product Description
Review
'They say "better the devil you know" but after reading this, I think I would prefer to stick with the angels. Thoroughly enjoyed The Devil You Know and it has made me look a little more carefully at the people around me.'
(Lynda Bellingham )Product Description
You've met a new man who seems too good to be true. He's charming, confident and impulsive. He shares so much in common with you and you seem to be the perfect match. But things aren't quite as they seem, you soon realise his charm doesn't run deep, he gets bored easily, he's irresponsible and he has a string of exes and one night stands in his wake, he thinks a lot of himself but little of others.
Or perhaps your boss takes too many big risks and treats you like a pawn in their game or your friend is always asking favours of you. The psychopath in your life is probably in disguise - they could be your lover, your child, your colleague, your friend or the hot new date you've met on the internet. So how do you know if someone close to hand isn't quite who they seem?
In The Psychopath in Your Life, forensic psychologist Kerry Daynes explains the psyche of a psychopath, she reveals the behavioural traits they share in common and she gives advice on how to handle them - or better still, how to avoid them at all costs.

Format:Paperback
Very, very funny.. Laughed out loud several times, whilst silmultaneously looking over my shoulder in fear of approaching psychos... Informative and well researched - highly recommended.

A well written, accessible book - not psychobabble but real-life stuff that everyone can probably relate to. Would make a good Christmas present for anyone really! A lot of it really resonated - will certainly be looking at some people in a different light from now on! Definitely learnt some valuable life lessons reading this.

Format:Paperback
This is a compelling read and as Geraint says, it leaves you looking at all your friends (and even yourself) in a new light. A nice mix of facts made comprehensible by the anecdotes and the witty writing. A great book to have around and dip into for a follow-up look through after the first reading. That first reading took me hardly more than a day, couldn't put it down!!
