This is a book I think everyone should read. Knowing the signs of narcissistic abuse is the best way to prevent it from happening to yourself and those around you.
It was a good book and had some examples but the only thing that I really had a problem with was the fact that it really seemed to repeat itself a lot. I am not sure if that was just me or it really did repeat a lot. It was a good book, and I enjoyed understanding some things that I didn't understand about narcissistic behavior.
A great read for anyone who has been in a relationship with a narcissist. Be it a parent, spouse, coworker. Everyone should be aware what a narcissist is and read books like this to help navigate and heal from those relationship.
This is one of the better books I have read on the subject. Short and to the point, yet there was a thoroughness. She describes the disorder and the people around the disordered person very well. Highly recommended.
Very good for survivors of narcissist abuse. The author is repetitive, which is good for those who are still wrestling with radical acceptance. You need to tell yourself the truth. Hear the truth. Read the truth. Examine the truth. Sit with the truth. And accept the truth.
There are some good, practical steps to use while still in the relationship (i.e., grey rocking, which works!) and the encouragement to focus on YOU (your needs, desires, boundaries). Let everything be about you and yours, not them, and you'll find you'll stop enabling and will start getting your mind right.
They will rage, but you stand your ground. Be as interesting as a gray rock. And remember that peace truly is a practice. You gotta do, not just know.
It's not your fault. You are NOT crazy. Continue your healing journey with this book and with other recovery additional resources. Blessings to all survivors!
