Cold-Blooded Kindness - Neuroquirks of a Codependent Killer, Or Just Give Me a Shot At

Zusatztext "Riveting and disturbing…." -Joyce Carol Oates "…[A] masterpiece." -Dr. Helen Smith "… [A] terrific book." -Steven Pinker Informationen zum Autor By Barbara Oakley Ph.D - Foreword by David Sloan Wilson Klappentext In this searing exploration of deadly codependency, the author takes the reader on a spellbinding voyage of discovery that examines the questions: Are some people naturally too caring? Is caring sometimes a mask for darker motives? Can science help us understand how our concerns for others can hurt everything we hold dear? This gripping story brings extraordinary insight to our deepest questions. Is kindness always the right answer? Is kindness always what it seems? Zusammenfassung Carole Alden, a brilliant, yet eccentric mother of five, had a deep and abiding need to help society's outcasts. But Carole's desire to help others extended beyond her meagre resources, even beyond the children she insisted she loved, yet sometimes neglected.
