Summary
Thomas Erikson: Surrounded by narcissists: how to protect yourself from someone else's ego
The author who revealed to readers what it means to be surrounded by idiots, psychopaths and bad bosses, in this book talks about another scourge: a life in which we are surrounded by narcissists, people who strive for perfection - in other people's eyes, and the price of whose behavior is mostly paid by other people. Have we already reached the point when pumping up self-confidence and a sense of success creates more harm than good, when desirable and healthy self-esteem turns into vanity and self-love, taking the form of pathological egoism? - the author asks, and answers: you are on the right path to success and happiness if you think a little less about yourself and a little more about others. Analyzing individual and collective narcissism (the culture of narcissism) and the social trajectory that allowed us to "get here", he also offers readers different "guides": how to "get rid of narcissists forever" and "how to be part of the change"
