Sociopath: a Memoir by Patric Gagne

adventurous challenging dark emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

this was a fascinating read. i think we’re all familiar with the popular perception of sociopaths as people who can’t be helped, are violent & unfeeling, and people who remain on the fringes of society. it was interesting  to get a glimpse into somebody’s mind who wants to be good, wants to heal, wants to help others with her condition & to help the societal perception of sociopaths. 

patric’s story was thrilling in certain ways & troubling in others. but i found myself inspired by her ability to seek acceptance of herself & have a “normal” life. parts of the story seemed repetitive in terms of how her life kept following the same patterns before she chose differently. 

really enjoyed this one.
