Take a Glimpse Inside the Mind of a Narcissist... **Limited Edition** From the Personality Disorders and Mental Illnesses collection and the award winning writer, Paul Sorensen, comes a masterful explanation into the mind of a narcissist "An excellent depiction of the modern day narcissist " - Alex Lemmings, Book Critique You probably already know at least one narcissist. Heck, you might even be one yourself Because the inability to recognize your own failings is so deeply ingrained in the condition, narcissism is very rarely recognized by the very people afflicted by it. Think of your friend who everybody loves, who knows where to find the best of everything, and who got you into the best parties in college. They're great fun to be around, but there's something you can't put your finger on. Then you remember their short temper, and how when you broke up with your partner, they were concerned about what her would think of them for staying friends with you. It didn't occur to them to ask how you were faring. Once you look past the party boy, the one for whom life is just effortlessly fabulous, you'll see the darker side. Narcissism has become an increasingly popular term in pop culture, and is used to describe almost any behavior that could be slightly selfish. Unfortunately, this only serves to water down the real understanding of narcissism, and leave you without any true understanding of the condition, until one day, you meet a true narcissist and have to deal with the fallout. This book will explore the history of narcissism, and how it is defined today, both in society and by professionals as a personality disorder. It looks at whether or not narcissists can change, and how you can protect yourself if you find yourself as a victim of the widely unheard of narcissistic rage - a phenomenon that can be scary at best and downright dangerous to your safety and even risk your life at worst.

Take a Glimpse Inside the Mind of a Sociopath... **Limited Edition** From the Personality Disorders and Mental Illnesses collection and the award winning writer, Paul Sorensen, comes a masterful explanation into the mind of a sociopath "An excellent depiction of the modern day sociopath " - Alex Lemmings, Book Critique Think of sociopaths, and what's the first thing that enters your mind? The soulless murderer, lurking in the shadows? Or perhaps you think of the ruthless business man turned hardened criminal, a modern day depiction in recent movies and media. You'd probably be surprised to know that you've met a sociopath already, at least one. Are they your classmate, colleague, friend, or even lover? The thing about sociopaths that so few realize is that they are chameleons, masters at blending in. Unless you know them intimately, you will have no idea what's going on behind the charming fa ade. In the real world, sociopaths are far more likely to lie to family members, steal from workplaces, cheat on their partners, abuse drugs, and commit fraud, than they ever are to murder someone. Although not all actions by a sociopath are criminal, many are what society considers immoral, and you remain unaware of the sociopaths in your own life at your peril. In this book you will learn what a true sociopath is like, how to recognize them, and how to deal with them - especially if they cannot be avoided. I also discuss how to help yourself heal after you come out the other side. Is there a cure, or even any hope for sociopaths? The short answer is 'we don't know', but there's a lot more to it than that, and forewarned is forearmed. Don't let yourself become the next to be manipulated, lied to, or even assaulted or have your life destroyed by the sociopath you know.

Take a Glimpse Inside the Mind of a Psychopath... **Limited Edition** From the Personality Disorders and Mental Illnesses collection and the award winning writer, Paul Sorensen, comes a masterful explanation into the mind of a psychopath "An excellent depiction of the modern day psychopath " - Alex Lemmings, Book Critique When you first think of the term psychopath, the first thing that comes to mind for most people is the insane, insatiable serial killer. We expect the appearance of such a depraved individual to reflect the madness without. This couldn't be more wrong. The truth is, that charming person who holds the door open for you at work all the time, the charismatic ex you have that everyone loves, but had a bit of a mean streak behind closed doors, the guy from college who loved extreme sports, or even your surgeon - they are all quite possibly psychopaths. And, unless you know them intimately, and know what you're looking for, it's unlikely you'll ever spot it. So, what is a psychopath - really? How can you recognize it? Are they dangerous? Or do we as society actually really need them? How do we know if they're just a bad kid or could develop into something worse? This book will walk you through the history being psychopathy, how to recognize the signs, and what to do if you ever find yourself in a relationship with one. It also looks at new scientific developments and research into the condition, and profiles some of the ones that were truly evil - the world's worst. Let's hope your charming ex isn't one of those.
