The Narcissist You Know: Defending Yourself Against Extreme Narcissists
Joseph Burgo
Egocentrics, all thoughts of which are focused only on themselves, are what narcissists are. From the outside, they often seem bright and interesting to us, but in fact they are skillful and cruel manipulators, ready for anything in order to be in the spotlight. They can be very difficult to recognize, but learning how to do this is vital: communication with narcissists can damage your career, destroy relationships with friends and loved ones, and undermine your health. What to do if such a person turned out to be your relative, boss, friend or partner? The author of the book talks about the rules of conduct with narcissists of any type: moralists, avengers, provocateurs and many others. He analyzes the most common behavioral patterns and gives recommendations on how not to be influenced by narcissistic types.
