A true narcissist is a master at lying, deception, and manipulating codependent victims, and is addicted to attention, which is the basis for their mental illness. While you may not concur with our author's every diagnosis of etiquette failures, he addresses the fictitious narcissistic reader with such upbeat humor that you'll have a good time reading. This book focuses on both female and male narcissists who grow up relying on people to believe them and use it against them. Victims of the narcissist can't believe the narcissist is incapable of caring for them, so they keep fighting the nothing they previously had.
