Book excerpt: Narcissism is not an easy personality trait to deal with. Especially if you don't know what to look out for, or if you don't understand why the narcissist is acting the way they do. Many people who are initially dismissed as "selfish" actually turn out to be narcissists. These are people who typically focus too much (or in some cases - entirely) on themselves because they believe they are superior to others. Those afflicted with narcissism are typically not very happy individuals, even though at first glance it may look like they are. They actually suffer from a personality disorder that can only be addressed with the help of a caring friend or family member. If you are the family or loved one of a person with such a disorder, it is likely your duty to better understand the condition so that you can not only protect yourself, but also give support. In this book, I will help you get started by making sense of the condition called Narcissistic Personality Disorder in easy-to-understand terms. This includes the various kinds of narcissism and its different manifestations. This book will help you identify with what your narcissist actually feels and goes through, and hopefully, it will help you become instrumental to their improvement.

Book excerpt: This is a 3-book bundle, which addresses various subtopics, including but not limited to these: Book 1: If you’ve been looking for a book about narcissism, you probably already have an idea of what it is. Still, we’ll define it in this book before we start expanding on the intricate details of such a personality. In part, because there are so many myths about it and the term gets tossed around like a diaper into a trash been, while most people don’t realize what it is all about. Moreover, there are other aspects of narcissism that need to be addressed. For instance, other personality disorders, such as anorexia nervosa, are sometimes linked to narcissism; and susceptible or vulnerable narcissism is very different from grandiose narcissism. And yet, despite its many unattractive traits, many people are definitely charmed by the charisma of a narcissist. These topics are all very fascinating, so please, take the time to study them a bit. Book 2: How do you recognize a narcissist? What are the symptoms of narcissism? Are there different types of narcissists? These and many other questions will be addressed. Narcissism in students, in children, and in others will be laid out and explained in further detail. There are many things to learn about narcissism, so become familiar with it now! Book 3: In this guide, we will go over some interesting subtopics related to narcissism, such as the impact of celebrities on narcissists in society, of social media, and other significant influences. Also, we’ll go over a small checklist that you can use to see if a narcissist is a threat or not, so you know what to expect. Narcissism is often an issue in politics. Some narcissists are also sociopaths, and some narcissists are just the result of our civilization’s greedy emphasis on monetary values and the showing off of status symbols of wealth. And then all of this begs the question: Is narcissism ever beneficial? Or is it always wrong? And if so, to what extend? To learn more about these things, simply pick up this book online and start reading or listening.
