Publisher's summary

If you've always wanted simple and proven methods on dealing with a narcissist or if you wanted to understand the narcissist in your life, then keep reading....

Have you ever felt as if someone you love does nothing but put you down?

Perhaps you are always drained after interacting with him or her, despite the fact that nothing you did was particularly strenuous.

After every interaction, you may begin to worry about your own self-worth, or worry that you are not good enough for the other person.

Despite your best efforts, you always feel like you are not enough, and that you will never live up to expectations.

Do you find yourself doing things or putting up with things you never would have thought were okay prior to meeting or interacting with a particular person?

Can that person do no wrong, despite you being sure that something was his or her fault, but you feel like you cannot speak up because you either fear the response, or you worry no one will believe you?

If any of this sounds familiar, you may have a narcissist in your life. These people are individuals with personality disorders that prevent them from being able to see the world for what it really is. For some reason, these people perceive and project themselves as blameless or perfect, though they are anything but.

This might sound intimidating or concerning, but do not worry: Dealing with a Narcissist: Understanding and Engaging the Narcissist in Your Life is here for you.

This book will provide you with the information you need to understand and interact with the narcissist in your life in ways that are as painless as possible for all people involved. It seeks to create a roadmap for you with easy-to-understand, clear explanations and no-nonsense advice on how to interact with narcissists in ways that are the least likely to lead to an explosion of narcissistic rage, without giving up who you are or putting yourself in harm’s way.

Dealing with a Narcissist

This book doesn't tackle everything about narcissism. However, at least guide me through understanding what narcissistic personality disorder is and teach you how to cope and heal from the abuse narcissists lash out. After listening to this book, I might be ready to begin my journey toward healthy boundaries and engaging the narcissist in my life.

Recommended

This book is not a story, it is a teaching tool - a very real honest study of narcissists and how they affect everyone in their lives. I highly recommend listening to this book if you are looking for answers or a way to address the behavior of a narcissist in your life.

Great Book but wasn’t applicable to my situation

I found this book helpful but it seemed focus on being in a romantic relationship with a narcissist and I was looking for a book that spoke to support for a professional relationship with a narcissistic person.

I found the part where she describes why a narcissist person acts the way they do, I was mildly pissed since I have suffered from such behavior but ended up empathetic at the end of that section, overall good book if you’re looking for something marriage/romantic relationship focused but I’ll look at another material if you’re interested in professional relationship insights.

A must read

This book is a must read as it helps you identify the recurring pattern of behaviors, make you realize that you're not crazy, and encourages you to define boundaries you need to establish and follow through with consequences. This is a practical, helpful resource!

Nice

There was my favorite section of the book, as it put narcissism into perspective and really emphasized how it affects different people in different way. I should have listen to this book before. It's really helpful to me.

Recommended listen

Anyone whose life has been touched by narcissism will find this book helpful. This book taught me to recognize the underlying needs behind his behavior, and how to respond mindfully rather than just react. Recommended listen indeed!

Great listen

I really love this audible book. This aims to give the listeners enough objectivity to disengage from a damaging narcissist, build awareness and knowledge on the situation, and decide what to do from a position of informed clarity. This is highly recommended.

Really need to have this

Having a narcissistic partner is really difficult thing to battle. However, I was quiet relieved by this book. It helps me deal this kind of person nicely and appropriately. Thank you.
