This author is far from an expert. There is some good basic characteristic information. But inconsistent messages for people in relationships with narcissists.
1) Narcissists do not and will not change. 2) Narcissists will exploit any empathy, understanding, or vulnerability you show to them. 3) Unless you have to be in contact with a narcissist (i.e. colleague, family, co-parent) just run. 4) If you do have to be in contact, completely emotionally detach, have firm boundaries, and be grounded in yourself.
There are much better resources for this information, including but not limited to "The Sociopath Next Door" by Martha Stout.
