Summary: Good overview of narcissistic behavior
If you have a narcissist in your life, but haven't yet studied the condition in great depth, this book is a wonderful reference. It provides basic information about narcissistic behaviors, where they come from, and effective ways to deal with them. My personal experience is that the best way to deal with narcissists if from within yourself- you can't change them only your reaction to them, but this book will help give you the tools to understand the nature of the beast and deal with them appropriately.
Summary: Why Is It Always About You
The book provided insight into the Narcissistic disorder, what to expect & examples on how to deal with the party. It was knowledgeable & well written....I would recommend it.
Summary: Excellent, informative read
Well, I had been dealing with a person with strong narcissistic tendencies which is what prompted me to purchase this book. What I really like that Sandy Hotchkiss does here is she gives us steps for dealing with narcissists: Know Yourself, Embrace Reality, Set Boundaries, Cultivate Reciprocal Relationships. She essentially debunks the myth that all narcissists appear to be arrogant and self-serving; while this is sometimes true, they often come as wolves in sheep's clothing and seem as nice as can be. What Hotchkiss points out is that when idealization is present in a relationship, as well as poor boundaries, you are likely dealing with a narcissist. Good things to know when you may think the narcissist will appear in the guise of "Me, me, me." They are completely self-absorbed, but they may not appear that way, which is why they can be very confusing. Hotchkiss also gives us a lot of excellent info on how narcissists become they way they are, narcissists and addiction, and how our society encourages and even promotes narcissism. An extremely interesting read, with easy-to-understand examples and down-to-earth language.
