How A Sociopath Builds A Moral Code Without Guilt | Dr. Patric Gagne

What if guilt was never the thing keeping you good?
Check out the full episode: greatness.lnk.to/1995DM
Dr. Patric Gagne, a diagnosed sociopath, told Lewis she lives without shame or guilt. What keeps her in line is an internal code built on logic, and the amount of harm she chooses to do is zero.
She once stole from a cruel woman and handed the item to a stranger on the street. It felt so good that she saw the slippery slope right away.
Patric traces that urge to a deep sense of unfairness, one that started in kindergarten when she learned Santa was a lie. She argues that if guilt is the only thing stopping you, you have no real control.
You will start asking why you actually do the right thing, and whether your reasons would still hold if the guilt went quiet.
