Dangerous Personalities

An FBI Profiler Shows You How to Identify and Protect Yourself from Harmful People

By: Joe Navarro, Toni Sciarra Poynter

Narrated by: Stephen Hoye

Length: 7 hrs and 58 mins

Publisher's summary

We seem to wake up to a new tragedy in the news every day - Newtown, Boston, Aurora, Columbine. So often the reporters say that "there were some signs, but nobody acted". The scary part about these tragedies is that less than one percent of criminals are incarcerated for their crimes, meaning that for every headline, there are millions of dangerous situations in which average people find themselves. On top of that, how can ordinary people identify threats from those who may not hurt them physically, but can devastate their lives on a daily basis - the crazy coworkers, out-of control family members, or relentless neighbors? In Dangerous Personalities, former FBI profiler Joe Navarro shows listeners how to identify the four most common "dangerous personalities", and analyze how much of a threat each one can be: the Narcissist, the Predator, the Paranoid, and the Unstable Personality. Along the way, listeners learn how to protect themselves both immediately and long-term - as well as how to recover from the trauma of being close to such a destructive force.

Great book

This is a Great book for everyone to read. Whether for business relationships, romantic, friendships etc.

essential reading for those in trouble

there is a lot of essential information in this book to familiarize people with potentially dangerous personalities. It took me a while to get through it, as it is very intense. However, it is a tool, and a good resource for those in need. I worked for most of my career with victims of violent Behavior, either child abuse or sexual abuse. I wish that I had known about this book to refer to many of my clients.

Good book, great information

Narrator is too dramatic in his pronunciations at times. Good book though, very useful information. Keep in mind, it IS written by a former FBI agent so there is some bias.

Good

definitely enjoyed the book wish I had the checklists so I could print them off maybe I just don't know where to look but overall very good information.

Excellent Content and Superbly Written

A very professionally written book. Extremely helpful. One of the most relevant books on this topic. Highly Recommended!

Excellent Book

Please read this book...he is an excellent author. Knowledgeable and you can hear how much he cares through his writing. The narration is excellent also

God bless

God bless you the book was awesome I bought 3X helped me a lot. I myself have been victimized by these people. I you used this book to start healing putting preventive measures in place for the future.

interesting insight

Having dealt with several individuals that display many of these characteristics, and not recognized how problematic they could be until it was too late, it's great hearing it codified into words from a professional instead of just going on instinct.

Shallow look at Personality Disorders

The author could have titled this Run Away from Anyone with a Personality Disorder and saved everyone the time of listening. There’s nothing in this book about effectively dealing with someone with a personality disorder beyond running away from them, calling the police, or hiring a lawyer. Demonizing people with personality disorders doesn’t help anyone.
