Welcome to another episode of Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning psychology podcast brought to you by the HubSpot Podcast Network.
When we think of psychopaths, names like Ted Bundy or Hannibal Lecter come to mind. But what if we told you that psychopathy is much more common than you think—and that you might have already worked with someone who has these traits?
In today’s episode, we sit down with Dr Abigail Marsh, an expert in psychopathy and altruism, to unpack this complex disorder and how it manifests in the workplace.
Dr Abigail Marsh is a Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at Georgetown University. Her research focuses on the brain structures and personality traits associated with psychopathy and altruism. With over 2.5 million views on her TED Talk and her groundbreaking book The Fear Factor, Dr Marsh is a leading voice in dispelling the myths surrounding psychopathy.
