Confessions of a Sociopath
Author: M.E. Thomas
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 0307956660
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
The memoir of a high-functioning, law-abiding (well, mostly) sociopath and a roadmap—right from the source—for dealing with the sociopath in your life. “[A] gripping and important book . . . revelatory . . . quite the memorable roller coaster ride.”—The New York Times Book Review As M.E. Thomas says of her fellow sociopaths, “We are your neighbors, your coworkers, and quite possibly the people closest to you: lovers, family, friends. Our risk-seeking behavior and general fearlessness are thrilling, our glibness and charm alluring. Our often quick wit and outside-the-box thinking make us appear intelligent—even brilliant. We climb the corporate ladder faster than the rest, and appear to have limitless self-confidence. Who are we? We are highly successful, noncriminal sociopaths and we comprise 4 percent of the American population.” Confessions of a Sociopath—part confessional memoir, part primer for the curious—takes readers on a journey into the mind of a sociopath, revealing what makes them tick while debunking myths about sociopathy and offering a road map for dealing with the sociopaths in your life. M. E. Thomas draws from her own experiences as a diagnosed sociopath; her popular blog, Sociopathworld; and scientific literature to unveil for the very first time these men and women who are “hiding in plain sight.”

Confessions of a Zen Narcissist: Struggles with the Illusion of Self
Author: Larry White
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781734298901
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
"Confessions of a Zen Narcissist" is the story of my experience with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD); however, it is more than a discussion of its genesis, manifestation, and transition from disorder to trait. NPD is merely an exaggerated manifestation of a component of other personality disorders and of the distress of most people. NPD centers on the illusion of a separate and permanent self. This illusion is common to all human beings and must be confronted in order to live a happy, comfortable, and peaceful life.The purpose of this book is to demythologize and explain a personality disorder that has seldom or never been viewed from the inside. More importantly, it is an attempt to make understandable the distinction between an awareness of self as a tool for living versus a misunderstanding of self as a separate and permanent reality that makes happy and productive living an impossibility. The following nine characteristics of NPD are discussed: 1) Grandiosity; 2) Fantasies of power and success; 3) Belief in being "special"; 4) Demand for admiration; 5) Sense of entitlement; 6) Exploitation of others; 7) Lack of empathy; 8) Envy of others or suspicion of envy from others; and 9) Arrogance. Daily examples of NPD are manifested in the media, and it is time to learn what it is all about.

Bitter is the New Black
Author: Jen Lancaster
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101128402
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
New York Times bestselling author Jen Lancaster takes you from sorority house to penthouse to poorhouse in her hilarious memoir of living the sweet life—until real life kicked her to the curb. She had the perfect man, the perfect job—hell, she had the perfect life—and there was no reason to think it wouldn't last. Or maybe there was, but Jen Lancaster was too busy being manicured, pedicured, highlighted, and generally adored to notice. This is the smart-mouthed, soul-searching story of a woman trying to figure out what happens next when she's gone from six figures to unemployment checks and she stops to reconsider some of the less-than-rosy attitudes and values she thought she'd never have to answer for when times were good. Filled with caustic wit and unusual insight, it's a rollicking read as speedy and unpredictable as the trajectory of a burst balloon.

Book Description
Discover the Bible's ancient wisdom on these challenging people - who they are, how they got that way, how to deal with them, and God's final word on it all. If you're checking out this book, there is a good chance you - or someone you care about - have experienced some of the more damaging consequences of genuine narcissism. Maybe you didn't realize you were dealing with a narcissist at first, but the pain and damage caused by this selfish, arrogant, condescending, and domineering person might have driven you to search for answers about what was going on, and how to deal with them. As you searched online or in books, you collected the conventional wisdom available, but feel there is still more to it. While the Bible does not use the exact term "narcissism" - a word from Greek mythology - it most certainly speaks to the subject. In fact, if you look carefully, you might be surprised at just how much and how directly Scripture speaks about narcissism and narcissistic people. The First Will Be Last: A Biblical Perspective on Narcissism is just what the title says - an A-Z look at the Biblical perspective on these toxic people; including who they are, how they got that way, and how to deal with them. From key words to Biblical case studies, it will unlock a new perspective and provide a framework in your search for truth. CONTENTS LET'S BEGIN How to Read this Book WHO SHOULD I LISTEN TO?
