Great interview.
Very insightful.
I especially loved the Buddhism take.
I had an issue, though. But, I'll write about it in another thread. It's regarding a person not being able to make another feel as they wish.

On the topic of sociopaths I would maybe suggest Paul talk to Betsy Salkind. I just finished an episode of Comedy Film Nerds (where they reviewed The Iceman). Betsy let it slip that she had some experience dealing with a sociopath in her life but was reluctant to speak on it in an entertainment podcast setting. Maybe MIHH is the place?

GHughes,
Thanks, I know Betsy but haven't seen her in a long time. I just shot her an email, thanks for the suggestion!

In reference to the person who wrote in complaining that Dr. Hirohama only spoke about those who had offended, bear in mind that he worked in a prison, so he has experience with offenders. Just a thought.

During the episode, Paul recommended a book about psychopaths. Does anyone remember what it was? Thanks!
