Book

The narcissist you know by Joseph Burgo, Phd.

Burgo, Joseph (Psychologist), (author.).

Summary:

In today's selfie-obsessed culture, we are living in an age of narcissism. Society often celebrates this potentially harmful trait rather than understanding it as a psychological disorder. For Extreme Narcissists, self-absorbed characteristics result in destructive behavior that harms not only the individual but everyone around them. Burgo has developed a useful guidebook to help you identify, understand, and manage narcissistic personalities, and offers easy-to-understand tools and solutions to survive assaults on your own self-esteem.
