Narcissist defined!
This is one of the best books I’ve read on the subject of narcissism. It hits hard and true on understanding the behaviors and motives of someone afflicted with this disease. It opened my eyes to some of the things that have gone on in my relationship. It is heavy slanted toward male narcissist, (statistics bare that out) but as a partner of a female narcissist, i think a less slanted view would have made this an exceptional read. Thank you for sharing this and helping me connect some dots. This with a few articles I’ve read on Quora have really help me see more clearly.

I am not very knowledgeable about narcissism and empaths. Until recently I hadn’t thought of empaths as being “real.” I had mostly came across the term in paranormal and fantasy books. It was actually someone who I now suspect to be a narcissist who told me to read up on empaths. My introduction to narcissist came with the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard case. Though, in hindsight, I suspect I have been in relationships with a narcissist before. This book actually gave me nice introduction to both and how empaths can be targeted by narcissistic people. I found it to be a very interesting read. It gave examples of parents, couples and the workplace. I would have liked a bit more on friendships. As a starting off place though this book is a good selection.
I received an ARC of this this book for review consideration through BookSprout. My review is based on my experience reading the book. I am aware an ARC can be sent out before editing, therefore I do not address errors that an editor would correct.
The book was well written and better thought out than many on this topic. My only issue was the insistence by the author that a narcissist must also be insecure. This is an outdated idea that this fact is always true. As someone with long term and very direct and personal experience with more than one narcissist, I know this is not always true. Additionally, there is a great deal of research that now shows not all narcissists are also insecure. The repeating of this information as if it was always fact was very irritating. However, overall the book does offer some good insights outside of this annoying trait, interestingly enough. I would not make this your first or only book on the topic due to this issue I found. But it is worth a read.
Good Introduction to the topic
I’m not as knowledgeable on the topic of Narcissistic Personality Disorder as I would like to be, Judy Dyer’s book was a pretty good place to start my learning explorations. I appreciated her introduction to some of the terminology used by the therapeutic community, and her very positive and reassuring approach. I was a bit confused by her alternate characterizations of the narcissist as a pitiable victim of severe personal issues, and and a deliberately heartless manipulator and evildoer. I don’t feel as if all my questions have been answered, and I would not agree that her book is “A Complete Guide for Dealing with Narcissism and Creating the Life You Want,” but she has given me several topics which I need to explore further. I have a new appreciation for the complexity of NPD, and the extent to which I myself am vulnerable to persons with NPD. Most importantly, I have been given a sane, honest, compassionate look at my own history of personal involvement, which has shaped a good part of my life, and I have also been given hope that it is possible to continue to heal. This is a voluntarily ARC review.
I received an ARC copy of this book for review, and I found myself frequently distracted by typos and errors in the text, which made for a frustrating read. Hopefully these errors have been corrected prior to publishing.
Having dated a few narcissists, I was immediately drawn to this book. I am an empath, and I have learned from Dyer’s book that people like me frequently become the victims of narcissists. My innate drive to nurture and to care for others makes me a prime target for narcissists, who prey on those who are easily manipulated. In addition to examining how narcissists control sexual relationships, the author also examines how narcissistic parents impact their children’s development. There is a lot of constructive advice under the heading of “Protective Strategy” with helpful “how to” tips on how to tackle particular situations when dealing with a narcissist. Having experienced this first-hand, I know that having a book like this in my library would have been exceedingly helpful and would have likely prevented a lot of confrontations.
Unfortunately, the book has a very unfinished vibe. This goes beyond my initial statement about the typos. The book reads like a collection of scattered thoughts. The best way that I can describe this is to compare it to a term paper that a student has put off until the night before the due date; it hits all the points it endeavors to cover, but it does so in an unpolished and rushed manner. There are examples of people who have supposedly struggled with narcissists in their lives, but there are no quotes or other facts to actually substantiate these stories. They sound as if they have been made up on the spot. Knowing that this author is not a psychologist, I was not expecting a scientific examination of narcissism, but I was at least expecting a book with sound, factual analysis. I have read better cited Thought Catalog articles. I cannot recommend this book under these circumstances.
I have been researching this issue on the internet but haven’t found any information that was this clear and to the point. It helped me understand what I have been dealing with in a personal situation. I would suggest this book to anyone who suspects that a relationship, of any kind, might be toxic to them. Although this book is not a source of diagnostic information (the author makes this clear) it can certainly help one understand things.

Judy Dyer explains in detail what narcissism looks like and the motives behind it. She shows the progression of narcissistic relationships and how this dynamic creates the toxic and harmful environment for its victims. Judy shares insights and practical self help tools for the victims. She gives steps for a way out. If you are unsure of what narcissism is or if you have no idea how to get away, let this book provides a map and guide.
While I found this book to be super informative and easy to relate to in personal life, I feel it was quite brief and written from a very subjective viewpoint. I actually would have wished to see the book written in further detail, be more objective, and contain an increased flow to the content.

This book offer was emailed to me at a perfect time, I recently ended an 8 year relationship with someone that I had no clue was a narcissist, I began to feel him draining my peace, I began to feel sick in his presence, I finally came to the conclusion that WHATEVER I did was not good enough for him, he shamed me and blamed me for so many years, I am so thankful and appreciative of having the offer to read this book exactly when I needed to, funny thing is our relationship has been a roller coaster from the very beginning and I swore I can help him, always did more and more to try to help him change, after reading this book and with more research I know I will be able to get my peace and my life back in order.
Thank you so much
