[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just read a book, Disarming the Narcissist, and it was actually quite a good read on how to interact with narcissists or people with those tendencies. Many of the examples are about family but also about work relationships. It's a pretty quick read and very easy to digest and pretty illuminating. [/quote]

OMG I am going to get this. (Not OP, but in desperate need of this)

Thanks.[/quote]

Read the reviews and critiques of it first. There are better books.[/quote]

I didn't find the critiques to be all that relevant to why I read the book, but everyone's opinion and experiences will be different. Many of the critiques come from people experiencing flat out abuse by their partners. Even this book qualifies that it's not going to help in extreme cases. This book is better for the "run of the mill" narcissist or someone with those tendencies, but where you are otherwise safe. Just FYI. And the reason I liked it is it comes with actual strategies.

The advice in this book is contradictory to what most experts in NPD would recommend. You cannot "disarm" a genuine narcissist. [/quote]

OK. Well, I read it and found it helpful. Is that OK? [/quote]
