There are so many books on narcissism at this time. Many of those books, in recent years, have been by people telling their story, their personal dealings with a narcissist. Upon reading such books, it may feel as if you are reading fiction.....the truth seems almost unbelievable.
Yet, for those that themselves have had to deal with a relationship with a narcissist, books like these are very validating. Finding out you are not the only one to experience such bizarre and toxic behavior helps the soul sigh in relief.
Yet, while validation is an important part in healing....I have found it necessary to find out not only how to identify a narcissist....but how to cope with one if you are currently "stuck" in a relationship with one.
Which is why I am so grateful that my psychologist recommended me getting the book entitled, Why Is It Always About You? The Seven Deadly Sins of Narcissism written by Sandy Hotchkiss.
This book became my compass out of the web of narcissism and my guide to finding my true self once again.
Not only does it help you to understand the origins of narcissism, it also explains their tactics as well as providing coping strategies.
It was my lighthouse, my beacon that led me home once again.
If you have read it, I would love to know what you think about it. If there are any books that helped you personally, please feel free to share in the comments section.
There is life after narcissism.....and it's damn good!!!!
