Coming from this thread Embrace Nothingness: Antidote to narcissism - Sam Vaknin
Since Grinus posted this thread about HG Tudor
I went on a digging spree on the subject. Wondering why it was not more talked about on here...
Anyways, before I create a big thread on the subject of Narcissism (or, FEEL FREE to post it) - as it's linked to LITERALLY EVERYTHING discussed on the forum (and, why I put it on Social Matrix / World around Us) - I just wanted to create a thread on what I consider the best book on this subject.
Malignant Self-Love: Narcissism Revisited

I won't quote anything. I'm just inviting you to read it (and if needed, start with Fuel from HG Tudor, then you'll want to read this one too
)It's a DENSE, PACKED, THOROUGH book. One downfall is the organization that's a bit weird, but other than that, it's worth a lot to read it and digest it slowly (or multiple times
).
