An engrossing, “completely fascinating” (Cosmopolitan) memoir revealing the author’s struggle to come to terms with her own sociopathy and shed light on the often maligned and misunderstood mental disorder.

Patric Gagne realized she made others uncomfortable before she started kindergarten. Something about her caused people to react in a way she didn’t understand. She suspected it was because she didn’t feel things the way other people did. Emotions like fear, guilt, and empathy eluded her. For the most part, she felt nothing. And she didn’t like the way that “nothing” felt.

In college, Patric finally confirmed what she’d long suspected. She was a sociopath. But even though it was the very first personality disorder identified—well over 200 years ago—sociopathy had been neglected by mental health professionals for decades. She was told there was no treatment, no hope for a normal life. But when Patric reconnects with an old flame, she gets a glimpse of a future beyond her diagnosis. If she’s capable of love, it must mean that she isn’t a like the madmen and evil villains in pop culture. With the help of her sweetheart (and some curious characters she meets along the way) she embarks on a mission to prove that the millions of Americans who share her diagnosis aren’t all monsters either.

This is the inspiring story of Patric’s journey to unlock the true nature of sociopathy and build a life of love and hope against all odds.

After some thought, I realize I need to adjust my previous review. As a Sociopath, the author has this seamless ability to come across as honest. However, who am I to say that any of what she wrote in her memoir is actally true?? Either way, it makes for a great read!

Honest and intelligent. As a recovering alcoholic it is true that the only people that really understand is other alcoholics. There is a stigma and stereo type that is not true. This story gave me insight into a different side of psychopathy.

Great mostly. I think MOST sociopaths are not just sweet, badasses with happy endings - and sometimes I thought, well I might be a sociopath because I am the same way, especially when she talked about her kids. I think less sociopath and more “alpha female”. But more power to her for accepting the things she cannot change and working on the things she could.

Good and….

This book is a gift to the mental health field and a must read. It was brutally honest and fascinating, and the fact that it was written to help other sociopaths is what makes it so incredible. Humans are complex creatures and when they put them in the boxes, nobody wins.this book challenges stereotypes and really sheds light on the experience of someone growing up understanding they were different, looking for help or information at the very least, and coming up empty handed. The author took it upon herself to do the research and introspective digging, and the result was awesome. Well done, Patric!

This well written memoir shares much more than one sociopath’s life experience. Dr Gagne’s self awareness, research, and hard work in her primary relationship models empathy and communication skills that we all need. I have listened to this book twice to squeeze more juice from this gem of a psychological journey. I highly recommend this book to anyone open to learning more about possible ranges of emotional experiences and how to navigate relating to others with a different range. I am grateful for this woman’s courage to care and share this powerful lifeline for others.

Even non-sociopaths will love this book!
