“If there is a narcissist in your life, I highly recommend this
book! How narcissists behave always makes sense once you understand
their thinking. The way you habitually respond to narcissists
always makes sense once you understand your own thinking. This
valuable book offers great insight and concrete suggestions for
changing your thinking and responses so you can interact with
narcissists more effectively, whether you’re a family member,
intimate, friend, coworker, or therapist.”

Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and author of Cognitive Behavior
