The term sociopath has long been considered a label given only to those living in the shadows of society — typically hardened, violent criminals. But those are the sociopaths who acted on their disorder. What about the sociopaths who don’t? The ones who perform surgery? Or get elected to office? Or hover a wee bit too close to you in line at Sweetgreen, just insistent upon extra arugula?
On this episode of Book Wise, Britt Brewer AKA Dr. Books recommends a buzzy new memoir, “Sociopath,” to a caller who’s worried they might just be one.
Throughout the book, author, PhD, and self-identified sociopath Patric Gagne traces her early life into adulthood; from a nascent murmur of anti-social thoughts, to a slew of petty crimes, to a startling diagnosis, and yes, even to love.
And Dr. Books doesn’t just review the book — she answers some very big questions about the nature of sociopathy, and even shares a few jaw-dropping statistics.
So pull up a chair, pop that corn, and In the eternal words of Eve, “let me blow ya mind.”
