About this listen

Dangerous and disregarding people don't simply drop out of the sky. Nor are they born bloodthirsty and cruel. When looking at the developmental years of adult criminals and juvenile delinquents or the selfish patterns of anyone that we must rub shoulders with, the question is asked "How does one get this way?" Typically we can see the answers within their genetic mental health history which may hint of possible concern and their first 5 years after birth which is their most impressionable social training ground.

This volume reveals what the source and beginnings of aberrant behavior looks like, and what the adults they become act like. It also gives us perspective as to how to recognize and at least avoid predators in regular person clothing.
Is there a cure for or pill for predatory behavior?
Is there hope for your relative or coworker from Hell?

Where they come from, what they look like and how we can prevent or dodge them is the purpose of this book.
When it comes to the above questions Theodore Robert Bundy's life gives us all the information we need.

Some fascinating Bundy and child developmental facts; but too much editorializing

The author does a great job presenting never-before heard details of Bundy’s childhood and how disturbing it actually was. She goes thru his history in childhood more deeply than anyone else has seemed to. She convincingly argues that Bundy had little change to avoid psychopathy based on his early years; and debunks his claims of an idyllic childhood. It also exposes his mother as a dysfunctional individual. However, the author writes everything Bundy ever did—good or bad—off as being a product of his antisocial personality and not any genuine good feelings. She doesn’t think he ever loved his long term girlfriend; which I think is shortsighted and disappointing. She believes all of his thoughtful gestures toward others were done in furtherance of his desire to manipulate, rather than any semblance of genuine civility. It is a one dimensional view of a man who had a horrible evil in him and also a remarkably good side. She effectively strips bundy of his unique profile by coloring all with the same dark brush. She also goes into other killers too often, and has an entire section about women who either were abused by such men or narrowly avoided them. It is disjointed and boring there, as it is where she lectures on how to detect these personality defects in children. I skipped a lot of those chapters. The book strays too much in places; and also makes really non humerus attempts at being cute. I’d recommend it for a Bundy enthusiast, interested in what formed him as a child, but not for anyone wanting a Bundy-focused book.

A new take on Ted Bundy.

I’d say I’ve consumed all of Ted Bundy content out there and the author probably has too. Paced very nicely and information transitioning good. Only thing I don’t like is the continued validation of body language analysis. Usually known as pseudoscience. Rest of the book is excellent.
