Sharing this book because it is particularly helpful to understanding tech leaders and the political and societal climate today.
Narcissism as it is used can mean a personality trait that has a spectrum OR it can mean a distinct subtype of personality disorder that is not a spectrum, but refers to the existence of a grandiose self concept and associated subjective experience of the individual. This is not widely understood.
It is also not well understood that Narcissism (of the disorder kind) is reality-distorting: it is objectively a deficit in the individuals ability to perceive things correctly and therefore a deficit in self functioning and goal achievement.
The therapy technique described in the book is not widely taught or available, but is the most complete and effective form of treatment for personality disorders currently known.
