About this listen
Read by the author, Patric Gagne.
'Deliciously wicked and insightful.' - The Guardian
'Addictively page-turning.' - The Telegraph
'Thought-provoking and surprisingly life-affirming.' - Cosmopolitan
Sociopath: A Memoir is the astoundingly honest true story of a life lived on the edge of the law, and a fascinating account of one woman’s battle to understand her diagnosis. Jaw-dropping, moving and illuminating, it will challenge everything you thought you knew about sociopathy.
'Your friends would probably describe me as nice. But guess what? I can't stand your friends. I'm a liar. I'm a thief. I'm highly manipulative. I don't care what other people think. I'm capable of almost anything.'
From stabbing elementary school classmates with pencils to stealing car keys from fellow frat party guests and joyriding around her college town, to breaking and entering, even stalking, Patric Gagne doesn’t hold back when it comes to describing the behaviour that, eventually, made her realize she is a sociopath.
But her discovery forced her to question the official descriptions of sociopathy. After all, she had a plan for her life, had nurtured close relationships and was doing her best (most of the time) to avoid harming others.
While her darker impulses warred against her attempts to live a settled, loving life with her partner, Patric began to wonder – was there a way for sociopaths to integrate happily into society? And could she find it before her own behaviour went a step too far?
'Surprising, thoughtful and deeply personal.' – Pandora Sykes
'Arresting and addictive.' - The Times
'She is compelling, like a movie character – a sociopath who’s beautiful, warm and funny, articulate and charming' - The Guardian

A fascinating honest insight into what it is to be a sociopath
I thoroughly enjoy this book & having felt I live with a few sociopaths I found it gave me a greater understanding of how different peoples’ brains tick. I could also emphasise with them! I especially enjoyed the dialogue sections in the book which I felt were superbly written & narrated.

An honest and at times uncomfortable look into sociopathy.
I love that the writer didn’t hold back. A really interesting read which tackles taboos, and looks at sociopathy like never before.

Very candid and refreshing
This book has an important take on sociopathy that everyone who claims they have empathy should read.
