Dangerous Instincts: Use an FBI Profiler's Tactics to Avoid Unsafe Situations - Softcover

"A masterful and compelling primer on survival in a world in which people are not always what we think them to be. Dr. O'Toole's deep understanding of the nature and implications of psychopathy. . . is particularly impressive, and shared by only a few other criminal investigators. This is an important and well-written book on topics of concern to everyone. A great read, highly recommended."--Robert Hare, Ph.D., author of WITHOUT CONSCIENCE

"In this absorbing read, [O'Toole] discusses why people trusted Bernie Madoff and Ted Bundy and dissects online dating responses and typical blind spots. The author helps readers analyze their decision-making patterns and provides a guide for helping them to assess and mitigate risk. O'Toole's book will provide insight to everyone, but it's particularly helpful for women living alone, parents concerned about their children's safety, or employers worried about perplexing employee behavior."--Library Journal
