Goodreads asked Thomas Avant:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Thomas Avant I've experienced the difficulties of dealing with narcissistic people throughout my life. As someone who's experienced narcissism in the workplace, at home, and in other aspects of my life and the greater society, I set out to learn more about the disorder and its effects on others. The book was also a memoir of sorts and a chance for me to tell my story and, hopefully, help others feel they are not alone when dealing with narcissism. The prevalence of narcissism in every aspect of society is quite staggering. While virtually everyone experiences narcissists in their lives, many know very little about the disorder. My hope is readers will gain a better sense for spotting this behavior and understanding the motivations of self-serving people.
