Use the word sociopath in conversation, and you're bound to see some raised eyebrows, or worse. The word itself has become less of a mental diagnosis and more of an insult you hurl at someone. But what does it really mean to be a sociopath? Dr. Patric Gagne offers a definition from both a clinical and a personal perspective. Her new book is called "Sociopath: A Memoir," Gagne's first-hand account of how she came to terms with her own sociopathy, shedding light on an often demonized and misunderstood mental condition.

What’s the solution here? Jules Lennon, fashion lead with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, joins The Excerpt to discuss innovations and best practices in the way we address textile waste.Episode Transcript available hereAlso available at art19.com/shows/5-ThingsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
