Download Rethinking Narcissism: The Bad - and Surprising Good - About Feeling Special AudioBook Free
Harvard Medical School psychologist and Huffington Post blogger Craig Malkin addresses the "narcissism epidemic" by illuminating the spectral range of narcissism, identifying ways to control the trait, and describing how too little of it can be an awful thing. "What's narcissism?" is one of the fastest rising queries on Google, and articles on this issue routinely go viral. Yet, the word narcissist appears to mean different things every time it's uttered. People hurl the word as an insult at anyone who offends them. It's become so ubiquitous, in fact, that it is lost any clear so this means. The only real certainty nowadays is that it is bad to be a narcissist - really bad - uplifting the same kind of roiling queasiness we feel whenever we hear the word sexist or racist. That's especially troubling news for millennials, folks delivered after 1980, who've been brand name the "most narcissistic technology ever". In Rethinking Narcissism listeners will learn that there's a lot more to narcissism than its reductive invective would imply. The truth is that narcissists (all of us) fall on the spectrum somewhere between utter selflessness on the one side and arrogance and grandiosity on the other. A wholesome middle exhibits a solid sense of home. On the far end is sociopathy. Malkin deconstructs the healthy from the unhealthy narcissism and will be offering clear, step-by-step instruction on how to market healthy narcissism inside our partners, our kids, and ourselves.
