innerworkings of narcissism and offers compassionate and realistic
advice for surviving a relationship with those afflicted with this
personality disorder. A Narcissist can make life exhilaratingly exciting

unconscionable, damaging, and ultimately tragic. Whether a
mother-in-law, friend, coworker or boss, sometimes it's impossible to
avoid narcissists, so instead of being miserable or taken advantage of,
Rokelle Lerner shares her insights on the dynamics behind this
personality disorder to give readers the tools to cope with narcissists,
including: Learning to see narcissists as they see themselves Creating
defense factors to ward them off Maintaining a balanced relationship
based on mutual love, not one-sided narcissism
