About this listen

Read by the author, Patric Gagne.

'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.'

Sociopath: A Memoir is at once a mesmerizing tale of a life lived on the edge of the law, a redemptive love story and a moving account of one woman's battle to create a place for herself and a deeper understanding of people who, like her, are sociopaths.

Ever since she was a small child, Patric Gagne knew she was different. Although she felt intense love for her family and her best friend, David, these connections were never enough to make her be 'good', or to reduce her feelings of apathy and frustration. As she grew older, her behaviour escalated from petty theft through to breaking and entering, stalking, and worse.

As an adult, Patric realized that she was a sociopath. Although she instantly connected with the official descriptions of sociopathy, she also knew they didn't tell the full story: she had a plan for her life, had nurtured close relationships and was doing her best (most of the time) to avoid harming others. As 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?

A compelling, honest exploration

A fast paced, intriguing memoir. Patric’s matter of fact style of storytelling and her great sense of humor kept me engrossed throughout this magnificent audiobook. I learnt so much whilst being thoroughly entertained.

Brave undertaking

It's sad to read that there is not a decent amount of research into this antisocial behaviour, What Patric has done here is brave by putting her story out there. She has been committed to understand her diagnosis and working out ways not to 'go with the impulses'. I wonder how others with diagnosis cope if they don't have access to formal therapy and additional study.

So much fake and sadness in this ..

The only good is that the narrator is doing a good job. It is filed with misconception and misunderstanding and because they're not indent a fixed diagnosis that is called sociopath, it might be difficult to say something. I can make my own symptoms because it will not be wrong. I was so tiered of hearing this narcissist self diagnosis .. and her awful way to be among other people - if it is even through - I dont think her story is truthful. I will ges she is autistic with narcissisme - I have seen that before.
I think she manipulate and cons her way through
