The only problem is that I'M the narcissist. So now I'm on the hunt for new books to help me heal my empty soul and remove the mask.100% recommend this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great information on narcissism. Helps you understand what it is. *by L***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2021* This book is simple enough to understand, yet has deep insight into narcissistic behavior. The author is careful to note that there are people with narcissistic traits who DO NOT fall under Narcissistic Personality Disorder or full blown narcissism. The author directs the reader to the main source of NPD: a lack of self. People who suffer from NPD lack a concrete sense of self, and they engage in destructive behaviors in order to fill that empty void in their hearts. The behaviors and tactics described in this book achieve the narcissist instant gratification, a false sense of self based on superficial/arbitrary values. The narcissist spends all of his/her energy convincing people that they are this ideal self, while simultaneously hiding his/her broken self. The positive feedback the narcissist receives from people buying into the false self, coerces further their deluded belief that they are this false identity. Negative feedback however, causes the narcissist to split his/her world into black and white. They fall into a deep low, and begin to devalue everything around them. This inability to reflect upon themself and work on their real self, is the most tragic reality of the narcissist. Understand that what we would call a disagreement, the narcissist sees as a threat to his/her personhood. Also, what we exercise as personal sovereignty, the narcissist regards as defiance and disrespect to them. This is all due to their poor sense of self. They have no solid ground to stand on, they have nothing to fall back on; it's as if these people have no identity. When you are in a relationship with a narcissist, you feel like your life is being drained from you, you begin to lose yourself in a maze of bitterness, resentment, confusion, and shame; you are often left emotionally abused, overwhelmed and exhausted. This is the narcissist transmitting their own emptiness and shame unto you. They first see you as a saint, then when they realize you are imperfect, they withdraw all your good energy and replace it with their own negative feelings about themselves, then convince you that you are the one whom is the problem. Then when they are tired of you, they move on to the next best thing. All of this is insight I gained from being married to a narcissist. Ettensohn put into words all of the feelings of dread, brokenness and abuse I have felt for 10 years. Ettensohn provides useful advise on dealing with narcissists. Simply creating boundaries helps protect you from being completely "sucked dry". He recommends no contact if the narcissist is abusive. He makes clear however, that narcissists are human and can be helped, if they choose to. Ettensohn describes how it's like when a narcissist confronts the emptiness of his/her soul: a crisis. A rush of shame, guilt, and self hatred arise. They are exposed and left extremely vulnerable. Therapy can be very painful for them, but it is necessary if they want to break free from the disorder. Sadly, therapy can also be extremely frustrating if the narcissist's goes in denial, and starts to feed off on the good energy of the therapist too. Overall, this book a great help. Ettensohn earnestly speaks to the reader about narcissism. He is articulate, and offers genuine insight. He does not load the reader with negative stereotypes of narcissists; instead he uses smart examples from fiction and real life. I'm glad I chose this book over many other to read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Learning a lot from this book. *by J***L on Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2017* Easy to understand book and unlike some of the other reviews that bashed the author for taking some sympathy on a narcissist, I'm encouraged that he leans toward trying to make a relationship with a narcissist work. Obviously, if the relationship is mentally or physically abusive he says get out. But, not all narcissists are full blown and it's been refreshing to see that some people just have narcissistic tendencies and can be dealt with. I myself am learning from this book some skills to cope with a person who I love who just has some tendencies and who truly is a loving person. We all have our faults and I have learned from this book to not make excuses for that person but to know that they are most likely not aware they have these tendencies. I'm not a pushover person and I expect to work hard on relationships that are important to me and this is no exception. ## Frequently Bought Together - Unmasking Narcissism: A Guide To Understanding the Narcissist in Your Life - Disarming the Narcissist, Third Edition: Surviving and Thriving with the Self-Absorbed --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/28742107-unmasking-narcissism-a-guide-to-understanding-the-narcissist-in-your](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/28742107-unmasking-narcissism-a-guide-to-understanding-the-narcissist-in-your) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
