A provocative and eye-opening exploration of narcissism- how to recognize it, how to understand it, and how to handle it.
The odds are good that you know a narcissist-probably a lot of them. The odds are also good that they’re intelligent, confident, and articulate-the center of attention. They make you laugh and they make you mad, and they make you think.

Narcissists are everywhere- Recognizing and understanding them is crucial to your not being overtaken by them, says Jeffrey Kluger in this fascinating book. With intelligence and wit, he explains the surprising new research into narcissism and the insights that research is yielding. He reveals how narcissists affect our lives at work and at home, on the road, and in the halls of government; what to do when we encounter narcissists; and how to neutralize narcissism’s effects before it’s too late.
