A review by vanmeers
Sociopath by Patric Gagne

2.75

I honestly only listened to this because of people's critique of it and me being curious on the validity of the criticism that this book (and author) has received. I mostly fully agree with the criticism and it's kinda wild seeing her gain some sort of authority on a subject she doesn't really seem that educated on  —  I mean, whether you believe she's a "sociopath" or not. The various information, and lack thereof, on whether her PhD is legit is insane.

But it's also the "evidence" she gives to support her "sociopathy" which is a) she has a hard time understanding other people's emotions and the socially appropriate reaction to those emotions, b) she "stole" cars from frat boys, except she really was given the keys and permission to drive them, and well, I'm sure she gave more reasons. I simply do not think it's that compelling and she's just giving undiagnosed autism (because this lady DOES have feelings and understand right/wrong) but oh well, this narrative makes for a more interesting book in the public eye. 

I'm rating it based on entertainment value and not so much on whether I believe it or not, or find it valuable otherwise, but I'm sure my being bored by her repetitive "look at me, I am totally a sociopath" gimmick is colouring my rating just a teeny tiny bit :)
