Two Book Recommendations
-
Here are two fantastic books, both dealing with the issue of evil.
The first is The Sociopath Next Door.
The Sociopath Next Door explains the phenomenon of people who do not have consciences. While most of us think of sociopaths as violent, most are not. They are, however, destructive and manipulative. The book contains fascinating case studies and also some inspiring passages about the blessings and beauty of the conscience.
The Gift of Fear is a now-famous volume by security expert Gavin de Becker>
I learned about de Becker, as many have, from seeing him on Oprah and listening to him tell the stories of his many clients, from everyday people dealing with violence to celebrities being stalked by crazed fans. The book includes many of these stories but much, much more. De Becker's mission is to put us in touch with our instincts, our selves really, which is our best guarantor of safety and well-being.

Concur completely in your recommendation of the Gift of Fear. A really amazingly powerful book, scaring but liberating too. I'll keep an eye out for the other one.
