national bestseller, Joe Navarro, a leading FBI profiler, unlocks the
secrets to the personality disorders that put us all at risk.
"I should have known."
"How could we have missed the warning signs?"
"I always thought there was something off about him."
When we wake up to new tragedies in the news every day--shootings,
rampages, acts of domestic terrorism--we often blame ourselves for
missing the mania lurking inside unsuspecting individuals. But how could
we have known that the charismatic leader had the characteristics of a
tyrant? And how can ordinary people identify threats from those who are
poised to devastate their lives on a daily basis--the crazy coworkers,
out-of-control family members, or relentless neighbors?
In Dangerous Personalities, former FBI profiler Joe Navarro has the
answers. He shows us how to identify the four most common dangerous
personalities--the Narcissist, the Predator, the Paranoid, and the
Unstable Personality-- and how to analyze the potential threat level.
Along the way, he provides essential tips and tricks to protect
ourselves both immediately and in the long-term, as well as how to heal
the trauma of being exposed to the destructive egos in our world.
