allymarell's review
4.0
Thorough and well-written critique of narcissism in today's culture, but doesn't really provide any solutions. There is a powerlessness related to dealing with narcissists at all levels of society; it's really quite depressing. I'm yet to read a book on narcissism that has anything particularly helpful for reducing their impact.
steveinadelaide's review against another edition
4.0
A very in-depth, richly textured discussion of narcissism. Of particular interest are the case studies analysing real people that have demonstrated narcissistic personalities. Like the best books, there are things to disagree with. The writing is engaging and easy to read. The greatest temptation in reading a book like this one is that of labelling people you know -- so take care! It is hard to disagree with the thesis that our culture is becoming increasingly self-centred.
