Sociópata: Unas Memorias / Sociopath: A Memoir

Patric Gagne

BESTSELLER DE THE NEW YORK TIMES.

EL LIBRO DEL AÑO PARA VULTURE, LITHUB, THE GUARDIAN Y COSMOPOLITAN.

Llevamos décadas intentando comprender a los sociópatas y su psique. Por primera vez, una de ellas se confiesa.

Desde muy pequeña, Patric se dio cuenta de que su presencia provocaba cierta incomodidad. Sospechaba que la causa era su incapacidad para sentir emociones tan primarias como el miedo o la culpa, y la empatía era un término que le resultaba ajeno. Así que empezó a hacerse pasar por una más. Pero la incomprensión del resto y su rechazo hacia las personas como ella acabó siendo insoportable. Con la intención de sentir lo mismo que sentía su entorno, se puso a robar, mentir e incluso apuñaló a una compañera de clase con un lápiz.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER.

BOOK OF THE YEAR BY VULTURE, LITHUB, THE GUARDIAN, AND COSMOPOLITAN.

For decades, we've tried to understand sociopaths and their psyche. For the first time, one of them confesses.

From a very young age, Patric realized that her presence made people uncomfortable. She suspected the reason was her inability to feel such basic emotions as fear or guilt, and empathy was a concept completely foreign to her. So, she began pretending to be like everyone else. But the misunderstanding and rejection she faced became unbearable. In an attempt to experience the same emotions as those around her, she turned to stealing, lying, and even stabbing a classmate with a pencil.
