Taming Toxic People: The Science of Identifying and Dealing with Psychopaths at Work & at Home
Author: David Gillespie
About the Book
Psychopaths aren’t just found in prisons or crime shows—they can be in your office, in your family, or even in your closest relationships. Bestselling author David Gillespie reveals that 5–10% of people may display psychopathic traits without committing a single crime. These “everyday psychopaths” often appear charming at first but eventually leave behind a trail of manipulation, humiliation, and destruction.
In Taming Toxic People, Gillespie combines meticulous research with practical strategies to help you:
- Recognize the red flags of psychopathic behavior.
- Protect yourself from toxic manipulation in relationships and workplaces.
- Rebuild boundaries and reclaim your sanity when dealing with a controlling or abusive person.
- Understand the broader societal risks when psychopaths gravitate toward positions of power.
Whether it’s your boss, your spouse, or a parent, this book is a vital resource for identifying and managing destructive personalities in your life.

Review
“Gillespie is academically gifted, a linguist, excellent at most things he turns his mind to...he's a polymath, an old-fashioned Renaissance man, who finds few things dull and everything else interesting.” — The Courier Mail
About the Author
David Gillespie is a lawyer turned bestselling author who is known for tackling complex topics with clarity and wit. His Sweet Poison series exposed the dangers of sugar, followed by Big Fat Lies and Toxic Oil, which highlighted the risks of seed oils. In Free Schools, he shifted his attention to education, challenging assumptions about what really improves learning outcomes. With Eat Real Food, Gillespie returned to nutrition, offering a practical guide to avoiding toxic modern dietary staples.
With Taming Toxic People, Gillespie broadens his scope once again—this time to psychology and society—providing readers with tools to recognize, understand, and manage the toxic individuals in their lives.
