The Sociopath Next Door by Martha Stout, Ph.D.: 9780767915823 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books
The sociopath next door offers some decent incite into sociopaths/narcs.
... “chief characteristics is a kind of glow or charisma that makes sociopaths more charming or interesting than the other people around them. They’re more spontaneous, more intense, more complex, or even sexier than everyone else, making them tricky to identify and leaving us easily seduced. Fundamentally, sociopaths are different because they cannot love. Sociopaths learn early on to show sham emotion, but underneath they are indifferent to others’ suffering. They live to dominate and thrill to win.”
