You Might Be a Narcissist If... - How to Identify Narcissism in Ourselves and Others and What We Can Do About It

De: Paul Meier, Cynthia Munz, Lisa Charlebois

Narrado por: Stuart Richardson

Why is this relationship so hard? It is so invigorating to know that we don't have to stay stuck. Even if we're not the one struggling with narcissism, we can change the way we relate to the people who do.

Find out if the stress in your relationships with family, friends, or at work is unknowingly caused from narcissism in yourself or others... Narcissism is actually much more common than we may think and, in reality, most of us have some of these characteristics.

You Might Be a Narcissist If... was written by two psychotherapists and a psychiatrist with decades of both personal and professional experience with narcissism. It is filled with many interesting-to-hear stories taken from the authors' or their clients' lives that clearly demonstrate examples of narcissism. A narcissism questionnaire and practical suggestions are given for dealing with narcissism whether it's in your spouse, a co-worker, or even yourself.

Helpful Information…

Glad I purchased and listened to this book. The information and articulation make the content affirming and almost axiomatic. So many examples and points elicit the response: “Of course, that makes so much sense.” Also great tools on moving forward. Agree that this book does not dive into the damage & dysfunction that narcissists yield, but that is not a stated goal of the book. For those just starting to question the world of narcissists in which we seem to live (if only bc we all have a few of those traits), this book will not leave you guessing about who the stronger narcissists were/are in your world, and how to deal with them and any residual damage.

Very helpful and balanced look at narcissism

The book answered the questions that have been plaguing my mental space for a while. The material put things into a balanced perspective for me. Carefully chosen examples were highly relatable and authors’ explanations of them illuminating. Specific language for communicating personal needs with the goal of building more pleasant relationships was a gem. None of us very born with the knowledge of it and some of us did not have to luxury of such language modeled to us. I also appreciated that the book was concise. To it delivered what it promised

Too short

Too short. Doesn't cover enough about marriages. Other than that it's a good and helpful book.

Wake up call

Very well written and read. Easy to follow and unfortunately, easy to relate. Great read. Bout 3 paperback copies for a few others to read.

Great information.

I learned a lot about my life and the lives around me. I enjoyed the real examples provided. I gained many techniques to follow in bettering myself.

Gave me answers that I did not expect

I started reading this book thinking I was a narcissist. I found through this reading that I came from a narcissist family. I found so many answers and I am ready for forgiveness. Life change for me by discovering things I never understood.

Real Life

So many real life comparisons to display points of view. Very informal, and I'm so glad to of gained this knowledge. Hoping to grow myself and relationships seeing things from a newer point of view.

Wow

This book has opened up my mind to a topic I actually never considered. I highly recommend this book to everyone!Your mind will be blown.

Great book

Great book to really explain NPD and how it was created and how it’s acted on. I’ve recently learned about my NPD and have been digging deep...this is the best source I’ve found FOR people with NPD, and also helps others have a better understanding of the how and why.

helpful

It's refreshing to have a perspective that is not rooted in negativity towards narcissists that frames them as horrid creatures. The book provides facts and examples which makes it very clear how to identify narcissistic traits in other people and with yourself. I appreciate that it gives examples beyond intimate relationships. I wish there were more tangible advice for those with narcissism on how to better improve.
