Why Is It Always about You?: The Seven Deadly Sins of Narcissism by Sandy Hotchkiss

medium-paced

1.0

Meh. There was some good info, especially at the beginning. But the examples focused too much on overt narcissism, instead a balance between overt and covert. A lot of it seemed to blame parents - especially mothers - for creating narcissists. Then it went off the rails with "kids today" and "society today" analyses that felt an entire generation off, and grossly oversimplified matters. She equates narcissism with the people who sued the big tobacco companies, because they "knew the risks" and needed "a bad guy to blame." When the whole point was, no, they did not. They were lied to. 🙄  Then there was some gross shaming people who get cosmetic surgeries, assuming it's mostly due to narcissism. The book just got worse and worse and had major boomer vibes.
