When does sibling rivalry go too far? Here's why your instincts are telling you the truth about this toxic dynamic… Although an estimated 20 million people have severe narcissistic tendencies, many people have no idea how destructive narcissists can be to others.
While some tendencies manifest as textbook patterns of abuse, for siblings and children of narcissists the experience can be much different.
Has your sister always needed to remind your parents that she's the smartest child? Or is your brother intent on making you out to be the bad guy at every family event?
Your parents may dismiss your concerns, but you know in your heart that family isn't supposed to tear you down and manipulate your feelings.
Although it can be difficult to trust those feelings when nobody else seems to feel the same, you know your sibling best.
There's no reason that a childhood dynamic needs to continue into your adult life -- you can leave behind the bullying once and for all.
As you learn to identify narcissistic patterns you will find it easier and easier to point them out in your own life. Once you can identify them, you can start on the journey to disabling those patterns and healing from years of narcissistic abuse.

The book itself was good. I particularly appreciated chapter 7, about how to start to heal. I listened to that one twice and replayed a few of the ideas because I really liked the thought of self-care. What a radical concept!!
However, there were fabricated words, malapropisms, and badly-pronounced comments that brought to mind both Tom Holland struggling to pronounce “croissant,” and Benedict Cumberbatch floundering over the word “penguin.”
Here are some examples and their translations:
Comorbility = comorbidity
Obsessive compulsion personality disorder = obsessive compulsive personality disorder
Having a common comorbidital with a relative= having a common comorbidity with a relative
Comorbidility = comorbidity
Comorabilities = comorbidities
After this, she settled with Comorbility and that was that.
Exsamining twins = examining twins
At this point, I am wondering if it is an AI voice.
Inherability = inheritability
“That hypothesize hit the nail on the head.” = that hypothesis hit the nail on the head.
Aldtimers = Alzheimer’s
“ Knowing how to give a complete analys will help you.” = knowing how to give a complete analysis will help you.
Normacy = normalcy
Textez = texts.
Granted, that can be hard to say.
Repetive movements = repetitive movements
And the grand finale:
“Most narcissists are extremely resilient to therapy.”
I think she meant resistant… especially if she went on to say that they would not want to participate.
This was, by no means, an exhaustive list. I didn’t even start taking notes until about chapter five. By then it was too egregiously funny not to share with my best friend, who is a word nerd like me.
If you can get past that, or if that sort of thing makes you giggle, it’s a good book, and it does give some outstanding advice. That said, I think it would benefit from either an editor, a new reader, a bottle of rum for the listener, or all three.

Meh. This book just compiles the absolute basics of NPD. If you’re wanting to expand your knowledge on the subject, this book doesn’t offer much. It’s not necessarily bad, just very rudimentary.

I don't think the author is actually a psychologist. The information was very superficial and felt like an extended Wikipedia article and her real world examples were pulled from reddit. It's an OK place to start if you are looking to learn about narcissists, but I would also suggest finding some work by someone actually in the field
