The Spiritual Sociopath

Written in his own words, 'The Spiritual Sociopath' tells the extraordinary story of the life of Samuel Kirkham, a phenomenally resilient soul born in London's old East End in the late 1950s to suspicious, insecure parents. As a young child, Samuel came under the controlling influence of his father Harry, who denied his son any knowledge of the national manhunt for his Uncle Frank, 'The Knifeman,' Mitchum. By keeping many secrets from her son, Samuel's mother Marie, would one day reap what she had sown. Frank Mitchum, a notoriously violent escapee from Broadmoor high-security prison, would ultimately meet his fate at the hands of two of the 1960s most notorious East End gangsters, the Kray-ford twins. Such a tragedy would utterly devastate Samuel's mother and the other members of her close-knit family. Samuel was destined to experience the dysfunctional life of a sociopath, engaging in serial philandering, betrayal, failed marriages, and shameful abandonment of his only daughter. Despite becoming a founding partner of an institution controlled by one of the world's wealthiest families, his status would be destroyed when he became seduced by the dark world of international financial alchemy. Only by a chance meeting with an enigmatic Oracle, would Samuel begin to eventually understand why such flagrant events happen to all of us and to challenge the very notion as to whether mankind truly has freewill?
