Omschrijving
An utterly compelling, drily funny, and, at times, jaw-dropping account of life as a diagnosed sociopath from a music manager who retrained as a therapist to better understand her condition, and help other sociopaths.
A surprising, thoughtful and deeply personal exploration of what it means to be a sociopath.
A fascinating memoir
[A] remarkable and scandalously entertaining memoir ... addictively page-turning book
She is compelling, like a movie character – a sociopath who’s beautiful, warm and funny, articulate and charming
She [Patric Gagne] not only tells her extraordinary story , she also... urges us to be more understanding of sociopaths
A heart-rending account of a lonely child growing up into a lonely adult, misunderstood and unable to connect with people...
Jaw-dropping
