Understanding what makes narcissists tick is the key to making smart choices in your dealings with one. That's because narcissists operate on a different set of premises than normal people do. For instance, while normal people avoid conflict (because we desire peace), narcissists seek conflict (because they desire dominance). Consequently, your typical conflict-resolving behavior backfires in Wonderland, making the narcissist all the more aggressive.
Once you understand, it does all make sense. The most important thing you'll learn from understanding what makes narcissists tick is that you can get off the guilt trip. You are not to blame. You'll also learn that you're not alone, that the kind of craziness you've been subjected to is all too typical.

What Makes Narcissists Tick
|
This book uses real-life examples of narcissistic behavior to explain the malignant narcissism in plain English for the average person. The only book of its kind, it translates the fuzzy abstractions of formal jargon to concrete terms that have real meaning to the average person.
It gives you the understanding you need to recognize a narcissist, and it shows you what's going on in your relationship with one — whether a psychopath or someone with narcissistic personality disorder, whether at home or in the workplace.
For example:
| · | Do you know what really triggers a narc attack? It isn't anything the victim did. Narcissists aren't "touchy" at all. Find out what paints a bull's eye on you.
|
| · | Did you know that narcissists don't lie for the same reasons normal people do? They don't want you to believe their flagrant lies: they just want you to shut up and act as though they're true.
|
| · | Did you know that virtually nothing a narcissist says or does is for real? Whether it's rage, sweet talk, or whining. It's all an act to suck a desired reaction from you.
|
| · | You naturally think that your narcissist would never trash good friends and the members of his or her own family the way they trash the people they work with. But the lack of empathy is real. There are no exceptions.
|
Bottom line: What Makes Narcissists Tick clues you in on what narcissists don't want you to know.

You can read some parts of some chapters here on the website, such as parts of "The Essence of Narcissism," "Meet the Narcissist," "In the Looking Glass," and "The Narcissist's Strategy." Other chapters are exclusive to the book, like "The Faces of Narcissism," "The Teeter Totter Game," "The Rat Game," and "What's in There."
| If you would like to see testimonials, please read through the comments on the blog, where you will find many. Though I get much positive feedback in private email, I do not ask for signed testimonials. Two reasons. (1) The testimonials you see on the Web are often fabricated, because privacy concerns admit of no way to authenticate them. (2) More important, because these are the victims of narcissists, and since abusers often spy on and stalk their victims, even just posting their names and town or city on the Web would expose them to risk.
