Book Synopsis How to Deal with a Narcissist by : Marleen Grayson
Download or read book How to Deal with a Narcissist written by Marleen Grayson and published by . This book was released on 2015-03-08 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Narcissism is not an easy personality trait to deal with. Especially if you don't know what to look out for, or if you don't understand why the narcissist is acting the way they do. Many people who are initially dismissed as "selfish" actually turn out to be narcissists. These are people who typically focus too much (or in some cases - entirely) on themselves because they believe they are superior to others. Those afflicted with narcissism are typically not very happy individuals, even though at first glance it may look like they are. They actually suffer from a personality disorder that can only be addressed with the help of a caring friend or family member. If you are the family or loved one of a person with such a disorder, it is likely your duty to better understand the condition so that you can not only protect yourself, but also give support. In this book, I will help you get started by making sense of the condition called Narcissistic Personality Disorder in easy-to-understand terms. This includes the various kinds of narcissism and its different manifestations. This book will help you identify with what your narcissist actually feels and goes through, and hopefully, it will help you become instrumental to their improvement.

Book Synopsis Rethinking Narcissism by : Dr. Craig Malkin
Download or read book Rethinking Narcissism written by Dr. Craig Malkin and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

If you tell the narcissist in your life about your insecurities about your weight, will they strike a chord and comment about others that are thinner than you? Most likely you are trapped in a relationship with a narcissist. It's not always easy to read the red flags because their behavior can mask itself as incredibly confident, moralistic, or charming.
