review 1: I learned a lot from this book. We all have some narcissistic tendencies, but the thing I thought was the most interesting was that true narcissists carry a heavy shame that they bury deep. It's too painful to deal with, so they just can't. Shame is different than guilt. Shame is not healthy and a can be given to an innocent with criticism and abuse etc. Guilt comes because of something we've done and can be a healthy deterrent.
review 2: I picked up this book because I had read another book by Rockelle Lerner that I thought was pretty good. I had been looking for a book about narcissism but not something that was overly clinical. This book was really good. Finally all the crap that I had been put through made sense. She even highlights other not-so-obvious sig... morens of NPD that made me realize someone else in my life was narcissistic, as well. This book is very good 1) to make sense of what narcissism is all about 2) to understand where the 'crazy' behaviour actually does come from, and 3) to give tools to help you deal with someone with this personality disorder. All I can say after reading this book is that I truly do feel sorry for people who have this disorder. They're so busy making everyone else's life hell just to make themselves feel better that they end up missing out on some of the most beautiful parts of being alive. less
