Review

\n

As someone who has been entangled with narcissistic individuals for most of my life, Disarming the Narcissist (Third Edition) has been an invaluable resource for me. This book isn’t just a guide; it’s a lifeline.

\n

The author provides a clear and concise breakdown of what narcissistic personality disorder is, its various manifestations, and how to identify it in others. I was particularly struck by the new sections on shame, hypersexuality, and infidelity in narcissism – topics that aren’t often discussed but are crucial for understanding the complexities of narcissistic behavior.

\n

What truly sets this book apart is its practical advice. The author offers step-by-step strategies for dealing with narcissists in a variety of settings, from social to professional. I found myself nodding along as I read the tactics for setting boundaries, avoiding power struggles, and asserting my own needs and wants.

\n

One of the most helpful sections for me was on legal information when divorcing a narcissist. The author provides practical advice for navigating the legal system, which can be especially treacherous when dealing with someone who lies and manipulates as part of their everyday behavior.

\n

What I appreciate most about Disarming the Narcissist is that it empowers you to take control of your life. The author doesn’t sugarcoat the difficulty of dealing with narcissists, but she does offer hope and a path forward. By learning how to separate yourself from their traps and gain the respect and validation you deserve, you can finally start living the life you want.

\n

In conclusion, Disarming the Narcissist is more than just a self-help book; it’s a survival guide for those who have to deal with narcissists on a daily basis. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn how to cope, confront, and ultimately disarm the narcissist in their life.

  • Do you know someone who is overly arrogant, shows an extreme lack of empathy, or exhibits an inflated sense of entitlement? Do they exploit others or engage in deluded thinking? These are all traits of narcissistic personality disorder, and when it comes to dealing with narcissists, it can be difficult to get your point across. So, how do you handle the narcissistic people in your life? You might interact with them in social or professional settings, and you might even love one – so ignoring them isn’t really a practical solution.
