Sociopath

**The instant *Sunday Times* bestseller** *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. Moving and illuminating, it will challenge everything you thought you knew about sociopathy. ***“Empathy, guilt, shame, remorse, jealousy, even love – these are considered social emotions,” she said. “We’re not born with them. They’re learned.”*** 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. 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?
