Publisher's summary
Quanto del nostro comportamento e delle nostre scelte è determinato dal nostro patrimonio genetico e quanto invece dall'ambiente in cui viviamo, dalla cultura in cui siamo immersi? Certamente i geni ci fanno essere come siamo: statura eretta, occhi in posizione frontale e, non ultimo, un grande sviluppo della corteccia cerebrale; ma forse pensieri, emozioni, comportamenti, atteggiamenti non dipendono solo da caratteristiche geneticamente determinate.
La questione rimane a tutt'oggi aperta e incerta; affrontandola, questo libro propone una riflessione profonda sugli scenari aperti dalle scoperte delle nuove "discipline del cervello".

Although clinical research has been conducted on narcissism as a disorder, less is known about its effects on victims who are in toxic relationships with partners with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Individuals with this disorder engage in chronic devaluation and manipulation of their partners, a psychological and emotional phenomenon known as "narcissistic abuse". Unfortunately, the full extent of what narcissistic abuse entails is not taught in any psychology class or diagnostic manual.

These days, no one in America feels immune to violence. But now, in this extraordinary, groundbreaking book, the nation's leading expert on predicting violent behavior unlocks the puzzle of human violence and shows that, like every creature on earth, we have within us the ability to predict the harm others might do us and get out of its way. Contrary to popular myth, human violence almost always has a discernible motive and is preceded by clear warning signs.

Based on seven years of ground-breaking research and hundreds of interviews, I Thought It Was Just Me shines a long-overdue light on an important truth: Our imperfections are what connect us to each other and to our humanity. Our vulnerabilities are not weaknesses; they are powerful reminders to keep our hearts and minds open to the reality that we're all in this together.

The latest groundbreaking tome from Tim Ferriss, the number-one New York Times best-selling author of The 4-Hour Workweek. For the last two years, I've interviewed more than 200 world-class performers for my podcast, The Tim Ferriss Show. The guests range from super celebs (Jamie Foxx, Arnold Schwarzenegger, etc.) and athletes (icons of powerlifting, gymnastics, surfing, etc.) to legendary Special Operations commanders and black-market biochemists. For most of my guests, it’s the first time they’ve agreed to a two-to-three-hour interview.
