Book Description
“Don’t You Know Who I Am?” has become the mantra of the famous and infamous, the entitled and the insecure. It’s the tagline of the modern narcissist. Health and wellness campaigns preach avoidance of unhealthy foods, sedentary lifestyles, tobacco, drugs, and alcohol, but rarely preach avoidance of unhealthy, difficult or toxic people. Yet the health benefits of removing toxic people from your life may have far greater benefits to both physical and psychological health. We need to learn to be better gatekeepers for our minds, bodies, and souls. Narcissism, entitlement, and incivility have become the new world order, and we are all in trouble. They are not only normalized but also increasingly incentivized. They are manifestations of pathological insecurity—insecurities that are experienced at both the individual and societal level. The paradox is that we value these patterns. We venerate them through social media, mainstream media, and consumerism, and they are endemic in political, corporate, academic, and media leaders. There are few lives untouched by narcissists. These relationships infect those who are in them with self-doubt, despair, confusion, anxiety, depression, and the chronic feeling of being “not enough,” all of which make it so difficult to step away and set boundaries. The illusion of hope and the fantasy of redemption can result in years of second chances, and despondency when change never comes. It’s time for a wake-up call. It’s time to stem the tide of narcissism, entitlement, and antagonism, and take our lives back.

Book Description
Harvard Medical School psychologist and Huffington Post blogger Craig Malkin addresses the "narcissism epidemic," by illuminating the spectrum of narcissism, identifying ways to control the trait, and explaining how too little of it may be a bad thing. "What is narcissism?" is one of the fastest rising searches on Google, and articles on the topic routinely go viral. Yet, the word "narcissist" seems to mean something different every time it's uttered. People hurl the word as insult at anyone who offends them. It's become so ubiquitous, in fact, that it's lost any clear meaning. The only certainty these days is that it's bad to be a narcissist—really bad—inspiring the same kind of roiling queasiness we feel when we hear the words sexist or racist. That's especially troubling news for millennials, the people born after 1980, who've been branded the "most narcissistic generation ever." In Rethinking Narcissism readers will learn that there's far more to narcissism than its reductive invective would imply. The truth is that we all fall on a spectrum somewhere between utter selflessness on the one side, and arrogance and grandiosity on the other. A healthy middle exhibits a strong sense of self. On the far end lies sociopathy. Malkin deconstructs healthy from unhealthy narcissism and offers clear, step-by-step guidance on how to promote healthy narcissism in our partners, our children, and ourselves.

Book Description
Narcissism is a modern epidemic, and it’s spreading rapidly. But how do you know if you are in a relationship with one—and, what can you do about it? We live in a world of romance and rescue, where many believe love will conquer all, and that the more we endure unacceptable behavior, the more likely that we can “fix” our relationships. It doesn’t always work that way—despite what the fairy tales tell us. There are a few hard facts about pathological narcissism that most people don’t know and most psychologists will never tell you. Should I Stay or Should I Go? uses checklists, clinical wisdom, and real stories from real people to prepare you for the real terrain of pathological narcissism. It raises the red flags to watch for and provides a realistic roadmap for difficult situations to help you reclaim yourself, find healing, and live an authentic and empowered life. Whether you stay. Or go.

Book Description
~ Take a Glimpse Inside the Mind of a Narcissist... **Limited Edition** From the ~Personality Disorders and Mental Illnesses~ collection and the award winning writer, Paul Sorensen, comes a masterful explanation into the mind of a narcissist! "An excellent depiction of the modern day narcissist!" - Alex Lemmings, Book Critique You probably already know at least one narcissist. Heck, you might even be one yourself! Because the inability to recognize your own failings is so deeply ingrained in the condition, narcissism is very rarely recognized by the very people afflicted by it. Think of your friend who everybody loves, who knows where to find the best of everything, and who got you into the best parties in college. They're great fun to be around, but there's something you can't put your finger on. Then you remember their short temper, and how when you broke up with your partner, they were concerned about what her would think of them for staying friends with you. It didn't occur to them to ask how you were faring. Once you look past the party boy, the one for whom life is just effortlessly fabulous, you'll see the darker side. Narcissism has become an increasingly popular term in pop culture, and is used to describe almost any behavior that could be slightly selfish. Unfortunately, this only serves to water down the real understanding of narcissism, and leave you without any true understanding of the condition, until one day, you meet a true narcissist and have to deal with the fallout. This book will explore the history of narcissism, and how it is defined today, both in society and by professionals as a personality disorder. It looks at whether or not narcissists can change, and how you can protect yourself if you find yourself as a victim of the widely unheard of narcissistic rage - a phenomenon that can be scary at best and downright dangerous to your safety and even risk your life at worst. Topics of Discussion - What is Narcissism - Identifying the Narcissist - Narcissistic Personality Disorder - Relationships with a Narcissist - Female Narcissists - Dealing with the Fallout - Society Indulges - and much more!
