About the Book

★★★★ "A fascinating in-depth analysis of a common, widely misunderstood personality disorder, Narcissism, and it's impact on American society...he looks at narcissism in the context of American history and politics, and how it underpins racism and white supremacy. He labels the Baby Boomers as the most narcissistic generation, and describes how their political power and the rise of anti-intellectualism has led to the huge income disparities, injustices and societal wreckage of recent decades." -- Joanna Joseph - Reedsy Discovery

"This is a really interesting book, particularly given the times we are living in. You delve into a topic that too many Americans are either uninformed about or that they are turning a blind eye to. I enjoyed your conversational yet informative writing style, blending your own experiences with the facts about this disorder." -- Judge, 29th Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards

"I also loved his style of writing. It was conversational, making it relatable and more enjoyable. His experiences as a child in a toxic family and his determination not to live by the template of narcissism inspired me to be different...The book was a masterpiece." -- Reviewer - OnlineBookClub.org

In combining memoir and scholarly analysis of the current turmoil in American society, this searingly honest account of what's gone wrong, and why, charts the rise of narcissism in every area of society - from individuals and the family home to the workplace and the political arena.

This is for readers with an interest in psychology and the impact of nurture over nature; in the current political landscape in the US; and in the complex sociological factors that shape our society.

-Exposes the rapid rise of narcissism in America, in individuals as well as in society as a whole, which has caused an epidemic of damaged and dysfunctional people
-Considers the various definitions and indicators of narcissism in an individual including how it differs from sociopathy and narcissistic types such as malignant narcissism
-Analyzes the root causes of individual narcissism with a focus on upbringing and the family environment and how this impacts the forming of the false self and self-loathing
-Investigates the various types of damaged parent-child relationships such as narcissistic parental values, the devaluing parent, the golden child, and the exhibitionist admirer
-Examines the prevalence of narcissism in the workplace, especially in positions of leadership, and the impact this has on employees and in creating a toxic environment
-Studies the contribution of the Boomer generation to our culture of narcissism and how the context of their upbringing made them susceptible to developing these traits
-Explores the foundations of societal narcissism such as slavery, religion, anti-intellectualism and social media, and its promotion of racism, hate and intolerance as well as political polarization
-Reaches for a way forward in combating the narcissistic society in self-awareness, truth seeking, and radical acceptance
