I love this book.

One of my very favorite titles. Baron-Cohen explains the "the internal pot of gold" theory that makes so much sense. This book is a little old but still very valid. You won't go wrong buying this book. I will always keep a copy. Just between us, I find it interesting this author is an expert on empathy. His brother is a famous Hollywood bully.
