Narcissism, the buzz word of the twenty teens. Mainstream media overuses and misappropriates the term, encouraging us to use it to describe almost anyone we don't like. Selfish? You're a narcissist. Take too many selfies? You're a narcissist. Narcissism is a continuum. We all have narcissistic traits and most of us travel that spectrum like an elevator in a skyscraper. Depending on how our life or day is going we may find ourselves on level 2 or level 20. This is not what this book is about. The people who have provided the material for my research live at the pathological end of that continuum. They never venture below level 40 and their preference is for sipping cocktails on the roof garden! Maybe you are living or working with a narcissist? Do you know someone who is selfish in the extreme, dishes out criticism but can't take it and believes they are superior to everyone? Narcissists, particularly the covert variety are notoriously difficult to identify. To most people they may appear to be friendly, laid back and professional but to 'friends', family and co-workers they can be abusive, demeaning and cold. They are able to switch easily between personas depending on the circumstances and they derive pleasure from manipulation, sabatoge and often persuading you that you are losing your mind. Based on several years of research and personal experience this book aims to expose the covert narcissist hidden in plain sight, whether that is in your workplace, your social group or even your own family. Identifying the characteristics of narcissism and discovering that you're not alone can be the first steps to healing from this hidden but deadly form of abuse.
