Publisher's summary

Have you ever thought that someone in your life currently or someone you were involved with in the past is a narcissist? Perhaps you think that you may be living with one. You, or someone you know, could even have horrific stories to tell of Machiavellian encounters with your "loved one" that just wouldn't stop. You may think that you are being treated like an "object", used for their every desire, or used like you are a slave, and you just can't understand why.

Some poor souls who believe they have been victims of narcissism tell of going through hell, then ending up divorced and millions of dollars in debt. Or you are positive your boss is a narcissist and you need to figure out how to deal with it, or you are going to "go crazy" or resign before you do.

Maybe people have accused you of being a narcissist, and you think this accusation is just a nasty way of telling you they think you are selfish. Of course, you are better than most everyone else. Why can't the world just accept it? Why won't everybody do what you tell them to do? They know you are always right! Or have you ever feared that because you have so many "broken" relationships that you are indeed a narcissist?

What is narcissism anyway? Is it really a mental problem that some people have, or is it just a "bad personality type"? If it is a mental condition, how do you get it? Is it contagious? Is it "terminal"? Can it be treated with drugs? Why in the world would anybody call the love of self narcissistic? I heard that a certain amount of narcissism is healthy, and without having it, you are going to get trampled on in life. Is this true? Where did this term come from?

Once you have narcissism, if it is real, can anybody really do anything about it? Can a doctor help my spouse or my boss or not? If so, what kind of doctor?

Open exploration of each personality types.

A true guide on the subject of narcissism. I didn't know a healthy dash of narcissism is a good thing. Nice takeaways here if you ask me. It's worth the merit.

I'm in favor of this book.

There's more to reading and listening to a narcissistic book. Being informed about the narcissistic personality is a smart move as you can have realistic expectations when dealing with coworkers, friends, or family members who may have some of these qualities. I'm in favor of this.

it's good to be educated.

All along I thought a narcissist could no longer recover. I'm honored to be educated by this. Sad to say, my sister's a narcissist and how comforting it is to know she can still regain her lost humanity.

In detailed.

It's sad to know how a narcissistic tend to be self-centered. How the world is reflected in their image. I'm learning it all from this organized detail guide.

I'm improving with this.

The saying, "don't judge a book by its cover" is really true. I wasn't supposed to get this because the front cover was too simple. I'm pleased I gave it a try. It taught me to ignore a narcissistic's show-offy grand gestures and instead, treat them with kind behaviors.

It's something special.

Absolutely the best audioguide I heard this month. It's a good aid to understand one's self better and other people too. Now I know why narcissism is the fast rising topics searched on Google.

Just what I was looking for. Everyone explains what Peter Pan syndrome is but not how to deal with it an strategies. This is just great. Like a recipe book. Thank you!
