understanding one of the greatest psychological challenges of our time-and what you can do about it

"Dr. Keith Campbell, the leading expert on narcissism, reveals new findings about narcissism and the dangers posed by narcissists. Not only do we live in a world full of narcissists and built by narcissists-according to a recent study, narcissism is on the rise in 50 countries worldwide-but each one of us is also being pushed inexorably into becoming more narcissistic. The New Science of Narcissism identifies this increasingly common personality disorder and how it affects us every day. It brings the latest research findings about narcissism out of the lab, setting the record straight on what constitutes narcissism"--, Provided by publisher
