This was an okay book. A quick read, but a little generalized since I have some experience in the field of Empaths and Narcissists. But definitely a good starter book.

Thanks to Netgalley for the complimentary copy of this book.

The first half focused on empaths; and practical tips for empaths, such as yoga and meditative poses and keeping a tidy living space. Much of it felt like tips that can readily be found on online lifestyle websites and general common knowledge (e.g. practicing forgiveness, eating healthier so you feel good, exercise, using crystals, CBT, avoiding perfectionism). It felt like there was a theme of generalisation in the writing style throughout the first half of the book; not all methods or suggestions work for everyone, nor is every empath or introvert the same. But it may prove useful for others.

The second half focuses on Narcissists and was interesting. It covers the different types, how to manage them, and the different settings they can be encountered in (families, parents, relationships). It also explores gaslighting, energy and cutting ties, and various other themes.

SHE IS LYING.

Make a new book called "I Was Lying: Here's The Truth"

Be more caring and honest (find me if you, the author, see it - but you would steal my ideas anyway)


And here's the real truth:


The real opposite of Empath is Psychopath. Good listeners and bad listeners.

The real opposite of Narcissism is "ADHD" (hyper attention). Uncaring and caring.


The 2 spectrums


See? I was right about her lying. Another book review site called "Quora" said I made a "rude" review of her book. See? They must feel empathic for deleting an HONEST and CARING review.


Sounds like she's one too. Narcissists are good at pretending to be caring. See? I was right!! Put that book down and find better ones, like David Icke, for instance. The HARD truth!!!

And I have evidence for narcissistic empaths. A wicked witch poisoned me. A WITCH is an EMPATH *and* NARCISSISTIC. Bad intentions, for damn sure. (in my right ear, me laying down on her table, just about to poison me... "RUN"... I stayed out of politeness, to not be "rude", of course... she was rude to me... OOPS!! Empaths aren't rude *eye rolls* / *puts hands on ears and say "lalalalalalala I can't hear you lalalalalalala"*)


The author wants to give comforting lies and not the hard truth - to get money, of course. Many people prefer that, especially if they are that way themselves.


So, I wonder if this app is more into "Freedom of Speech"? Many sites are not. I mean, the other site allowed low ratings but.. honest and caring reviews? Out the window.

This was a brief but informative and concise account about whether you are an empath or narcissist, as well as how to manage your life if you are surrounded by people that are narcissistic. Coexisting with a narcissist is not easy and this book give you plenty of advice and tips about handling the relationship and also how to avoid them. I learned that I deal with many of these toxic people throughout my life , including some family members. Some solid advice.

It was easy to read this in two sittings on the same day.

Thanks to Netgalley, Judy Dyer and Books Go Social for a free copy after publication in exchange for an honest review.

Highly recommended and well researched book on this topic.

Wow! These books hit the mark for me, much more deeply than I was anticipating. I was drawn to the bundle initially because I figured it was time for me to learn more about narcissism and uncover whether some of the more dysfunctional relationships I've experienced had this dynamic at play. However, I started with the book "Empaths," as the bundle presents this book first. What an eye-opener this was! I've long recognized that I tend to take on other people's emotions, I'm a people-pleaser, deeply conflict avoidant, and "a crier," (at movies, weddings, funerals, pretty much anywhere that emotions may run strong). While I'm fairly comfortable identifying with these potentially pejorative labels (along with some more neutral labels, such as "introverted"), I have never felt comfortable exploring the idea that maybe I could be classified as an "empath." I have been cautious (even slightly suspicious) of identifying with a label that might imply that I see myself as somehow "special."

Nevertheless, all the earmarks are there, clearly laid out in this book. Not only traits and characteristics, but also effective approaches to dealing with challenges that empaths face, some of which I have already intuitively adopted for myself (for example minimizing my exposure to social media platforms, because I tend find them intrinsically overstimulating and overwhelming). I really appreciate that this book offers solid, pragmatic recommendations for navigating daily life and that there are a wide variety of approaches discussed. For people who may be less familiar or comfortable with more esoteric concepts like energy work, there are also very tangible, down-to-earth tips on a variety of topics from setting boundaries to identifying optimal career paths.

The book "Narcissists" takes a similar straight-forward approach. It offers information on identifying Narcissistic Personality Disorder by dispelling misconceptions about it, comparing it with other personality disorders, and discussing the subtleties which distinguish someone with a personality disorder as compared to someone who merely has some narcissistic traits. It also presents sound and accessible advice for navigating relationships with narcissists.

Overall, both books helped clear up a lot of questions that have been nagging at the back of my mind for years. I appreciate Dyer's accessible writing style and ability to convey a depth of understanding about both personality types in a way that is understandable to people who still have much knowledge to gain in the subject (such as myself).

I would absolutely recommend these books to anyone who has nagging questions about their own relationships to others and whether there may be a dynamic of narcissistic and/or empathic traits at play. I would also highly recommend this bundle to anyone who has already identified relationships they have with narcissists and/or empaths, and who is looking for practical information about how to move forward.

Help for You If You’re an Empath or If You Deal with a Narcissist

The words “empaths” and “narcissists” are certainly buzz phrases today in self-help circles. Much of what I’ve read on the topics is essentially the same with slight variations. I would say that's true about this book as well—with perhaps a few new tweaks—though it is nice to see so much specific information in one place. Some books do leave off at least some things the author talks about in this book. I wish the author had inserted herself a bit more into each book. That's what makes a version of a nonfiction book on a particular topic better, in my view. As I said, there are so many books on these topics out there; one of the few things that can distinguish them is the author's own experience and story, and I didn't really get that sense here. But, that said, this is one of the better compilations that I've seen of practical tips on how to protect and nurture yourself and even shine as an empath and how to live life with a narcissist if you have to (or how to extricate yourself from the relationship).

The empath book I can see as being very empowering to people who consider themselves to be empaths. It talks about the good and bad sides of being an empath and gives more details about how to protect yourself and recharge your batteries, so to speak. The self-care the author recommends is what sets this book apart. She talks about typical things like creating boundaries, but she also talks about how to be an assertive empath and how to use other tools like yoga so you can function better.

The narcissist book isn't specifically an “empath and narcissist,” though there is a chapter on what the author calls the toxic empath-narcissist couple. Rather, this book is for anybody who thinks they have a narcissist in their life, perhaps a parent or a romantic partner. It discusses how to live with them if you must, including defusing techniques, and also how to get out of the relationship if you can or want to. All in all, these two books are a decent look at how you can help yourself if you consider yourself an empath or if you believe you have a narcissist in your life.

I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.

Judy Dyer's books on empaths and narcissists are a revealing insight into human nature and how opposites can attract in a devastatingly parasitic way. Empathy is a wonderful gift and all empaths, and those who care for them, will benefit from reading these books.

People who are empaths or parents, friends or partners of empaths will gain a greater understanding of what being an empath means, the benefits and strengths it brings and the difficulties and prejudices empaths have to deal with. The book goes on to provide some valuable tools and techniques to help empaths protect themselves from overload and abuse which will also be useful to those who love and support them.

Readers may come to Judy's book on narcissists because they want to find out if someone in their life is a narcissist or because they're curious. Narcissists are skilled in manipulating others to bolster their own egos at the expense of their victim's well being and often sanity. The book provides useful advice on the behaviours to look out for. While the best advice is to avoid these individuals like the plague, if they're family or bosses this may not be possible. In these cases the book provides information on how to deal with and respond to narcissistic behaviours without escalating the situation.

These books aren't long and are a sound introduction to these subjects and I would heartily recommend them to all empaths, and those who care about them. If a list of further resources for people who want to know more had been provided I would have given them 5 stars.

Reading this book was quite an eye-opener for me. Being a self-identified empath myself, I was hooked from the get go. Judy explains inner workings of some of my outward behaviours, for example, why I absolutely DETEST going shopping in large stores and/or malls. I had only a little prior knowledge about what being an empath means, having read this book I can say that I have grown in understanding WHY certain things are the way they are with me and how to live a more fulfilled life. Judy Dyer's book is well written and contains valuable information. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for some in-depth answers to their issues.Two thumbs up!

Judy has given all answers to my enquiries over the years of finding myself different from everyone around me and not feeling the same way as I would feel about a situation or a person. Her book has opened a plethora of tools for me to align myself to how to live in this world, as a truly gifted empath. People often find empaths weird and intrusive (to some extent) and rightly so. For years I had this question about value system many people follow that shows their intrinsic nature, but others were not able to see it. Judy has very creatively carved out the answers to the problems of empaths, and given great tips for being an empowered empath living happily in this world. God bless her!

I read my copy (ARC) with the mistaken view it would help me understand Empaths and Narcissists, and help me manage them as part of a team. This collection is more related related to "being an empath" and how other people affect them, and the impacts of narcissists on them.
It was enlightening, and well worth the read. The error I made when I grabbed the book was a reflection of the mindset I was in at the time (researching team management resources) and I do not regret the mistake.
The material is well written, easy to understand, and has enough "case study" type accounts in it for people to visualise and understand the principles presented without feeling overwhelmed or talked down to.

In her book “Empaths and Narcissists “, Judy Dyer goes into depth and identifies empaths and Narcissists. She gives empaths practical tools to protect themselves from negative energy. She writes about the importance of self care and creating boundaries. There are exercises, meditations and more.

The section about Narcissists is very interesting. She writes about the negative and toxic impact Narcissists have on the people they are with. Judy Dyer writes about Narcissist tactics such as gaslighting to manipulate their victims.
A relationship between an empath and a Narcissist is a train wreck waiting to happen.

The book was informative but very repetitive.

This was a quick read. I am a physical and emotional empath who was married to a narcissist for 23-years. This book is a good basic introduction to each condition and why opposites attract. It was easy for me to identify with the examples within the book. The relationship between an empath and a narcissist is very complex, especially when children are involved. This is a good read read for those who are not within the relationship or want to understand the motivations of each party.

Empaths and Narcissists written by Judy Dyer is a quick and easy read. I think that almost every person could relate to her description of an empath, and almost every person can identify some narcissists with a negative impact on other people.
With some things, Judy wrote I agree and with some, I don't. So - this book is interesting if you like to broaden your knowledge. Still, you need to think with your own brain and consider what makes sense and what doesn't and not read it as absolute truth.

Good overview. Tons of helpful information. The how to disarm and deal with a narcissist info is super practical and helpful. This was a quick read covering a good deal about narcissism and empaths. I liked the overview about how parents contribute to someone becoming a narcissist. I wish there would have been more info about how to disarm a narcissistic spouse when dealing with children. Overall really informative.
I received a copy of the book from netgalley and was in no way required to write a positive review. All thoughts are my own.

I thought this book might be more helpful or practical for the empath part but it didn't seem to be for me. It was well written and I read it quickly though. I found the Narcissism portion more interesting but I did notice it was always "he" in relation to the Narcissist and mainly mentioned as a partner. So, this book might be most useful for those if they have a Narcissistic ex over any other relationship.

This book was a great read and very informative. I have the copy of the first book but had not read the second discussing narcissism. It confirmed a lot of beliefs I had about certain individuals I’ve met. I will definitely purchase!

These books were quick and easy to read. Definitely a help if you are an empath, or deal with a narcissist. I enjoyed them and will adapt some of the ideas into my life. A little repetitive at times, but that just drives home the importance of those issues.

Quick, interesting read for people wondering about being an empath and people wondering about narcissism. Being a psychotherapist, it was a little basic for me but it has definitely sparked my interest in diving deeper into life as an empath.

-traditional medicine tends to pathologize anything it doesn’t understand
-introverts don’t need as much dopamine to feel good and dopamine levels dictate wether you are an introvert or extrovert
-detach yourself. Nothing had the power to affect you unless you allow it to
-abuse: cortisol during punishment, dopamine during affection, cause if you addicted to the abuse
-object constancy: person finds it difficult to have positive and negative feelings at the same time
—-arguments are bad because all they feel at the time of arguing is anger and resentment
-psychic/etheric chord: feel a connection even when you’re not with them? Replay the convo
