Unmasking Narcissism: A Guide to Understanding the Narcissist in Your Life | Mark Psy.D Ettensohn

so-so

Very educational on the types of narcissists in the world (which we seem to encounter rather constantly) and potential influences that steered them into that personality disorder. However, not much useful advice is included within (outside of the age-old “distancing yourself“ and “setting boundaries“).

llcoolnate Normally I wouldn't let this push the dial to a “so-so“ rating, but many times throughout Ettensohn would explain that this book is for those who are looking for useful tactics outside of creating distance between yourself and loved ones. And outside of trying to have empathy, understanding where they're coming from, etc. it falls a bit short. 10mo

mandarchy Narcissism is interesting. It could be a component of addiction or mental illness. If you need help dealing with someone, I can't recommend NAMI enough. They have classes for helping you, not necessarily them. If you don't want the classes, look at their resource list for reading suggestions. I no longer believe that it's as simple as pushing people away. It's counterintuitive to push away if we truly want to prevent the worst (suicide). 10mo

llcoolnate @mandarchy yeah it's a tricky one. An all-consuming disease if you let it be. I'l need to check out their resources! Suicide is a tricky one because it's very commonly used as a weapon to control. Very tricky one. Thanks! 10mo

Woah- buckle up for this crazy-pants story set in Toronto!! Cammie has had a terrible life and yet she keeps drawing people to her. Gibson, freshly divorced has never felt a connection like the one he discovers with her-& bereaved Shelby finds sudden strength when they meet in a grief group. Reading this one is like watching a train wreck and sure to start lively discussion! A quick, fascinating & ultimately one that you want to pull others into!

Remember Me This Way: A Novel | Sabine Durrant

This book was not bad…sort of a slow burn thriller that keeps you wanting a little bit more but doesn‘t hold you so captive you can‘t put it down. I like that this book, written by a British author, did not Americanize the slang. Never knew being a slut meant being a slob or lazy. I‘m feeling quite slutty today as all I‘ve wanted to do was finish this book 🤣

AbigailJaneBlog I am English and I have NEVER heard slut used that way 😂 2y

Bec_lectic Oh crap really?!? 🤣🤣🤣 Now I‘ve got to Google this @AbigailJaneBlog Well at least it made for a good laugh 😂 2y

AbigailJaneBlog @Bec_lectic it's making me chuckle! I think I'll have a google too 😂 2y

Disarming the Narcissist: Surviving and Thriving with the Self-Absorbed | Wendy Terrie Behary

pick

I received this one as a gift. Very insightful, it perfectly sums up everything you need to know about narcissists, how to recognize narcissism in men and women (yes, they tend to act differently), how to understand what triggers narcissistic behaviour, and thus learn how to successfully live and work with one. I'm happy I haven't identified such patterns in those close to me, it makes life easier :)
