From an award-winning senior writer at "Time," an eye-opening exploration of nar
cissism, how to recognize it, and how to handle it.
The odds are good that you
know a narcissist--probably a lot of them. The odds are also good that they are
intelligent, confident, and articulate--the center of attention. They make you
laugh and they make you think. The odds are also that this spell didn't last.
Narcissists are everywhere. There are millions of them in the United States alon
e: entertainers, politicians, business people, your neighbors. Recognizing and u
nderstanding them is crucial to your not being overtaken by them, says Jeffrey K
luger, in his provocative new book about this insidious disorder.
With insight
and wit, Kluger frames the surprising new research on narcissism and explains t
he complex, exasperating personality disorder. He reveals how narcissism and nar
cissists affect our lives at work and at home, on the road, and in the halls of
government; what to do when we encounter narcissism; and how to neutralize its e
ffects before it's too late.
As a "Time "writer and science editor, Kluger kno
ws how to take science's new ideas and transform them into smart, accessible ins
ights. Highly readable and deeply engaging, this book helps us understand narcis
sism and narcissists more fully.
