Jumia Books Sociopath: A Memoir by Patric Gagne

Sociopath: A Memoir by Patric Gagne is a bold and unflinching journey into the mind of someone living with sociopathy. In this groundbreaking memoir, Gagne dismantles stereotypes and misconceptions about sociopathic behavior, offering readers a deeply personal account of what it means to navigate life with a condition often misunderstood and stigmatized.

From childhood confusion to adult self-awareness, Gagne chronicles her emotional landscape with clarity and candor. She explores the paradox of being highly intelligent and socially adept, yet emotionally disconnected and constantly performing empathy. Her story is not one of violence or manipulation, but of isolation, internal conflict, and the relentless pursuit of authenticity.

Key themes include:

Identity and self-perception: How Gagne came to understand her sociopathy and what it meant for her relationships and sense of self.

Emotional detachment: The challenges of forming genuine connections in a world that demands emotional reciprocity.

The performance of normalcy: Navigating social expectations while feeling fundamentally different.

The search for meaning: Wrestling with morality, purpose, and the desire to feel something real.

Praised as “compelling” by The Guardian, “fascinating” by Stylist, and “addictive” by The Telegraph, Sociopath is not just a memoir—it’s a provocative invitation to rethink what we believe about mental health, personality disorders, and the human capacity for change.

Gagne’s voice is sharp, honest, and often darkly humorous. She doesn’t ask for sympathy—she asks for understanding. This book is ideal for readers interested in psychology, memoir, neurodiversity, and the complexities of emotional life.
