When most of us hear the word narcissism or narcissist, we picture vain, self-satisfied braggarts who can't stop talking about themselves. But more often than not, we're wrong; many narcissists are not driven by looks, fame, or money – some can even be shy or quiet. The alarming truth is that we have been distracted by an empty stereotype that keeps us from recognizing the much more reliable signs of danger – and an entire generation is suffering because of it. In "Rethinking Narcissism," psychologist Craig Malkin from Harvard Medical School sheds light on the narcissism epidemic by illustrating the spectrum of narcissism, identifying ways to manage this trait, and explaining how too little of it can also be detrimental. Readers will learn that narcissism encompasses far more than the reductive slander suggests. The reality is that we all exist somewhere between complete selflessness and grandiosity. A healthy middle ground – a healing.
