Fragile People: a Hidden Door into the World of Narcissists

How would you describe a narcissist? As a self-absorbed egoist? A cold, heartless snob? But certainly not as a vulnerable person, right?According to researchers, only about 4% of people exhibit full-blown narcissistic personality pathology. Far more common are covert narcissists. Their healthy sense of self-worth is also broken. But instead of projecting excessive self-confidence, they constantly devalue their own achievements and harshly criticize themselves for even the smallest mistake.The author of this book – psychotherapist and narcissism expert Yulia Pirumova – opens the door to a fragile inner world of narcissists and breaks long-standing stereotypes in which many readers will recognize themselves.Through a unique system of exercises developed in the course of clinical practice, the author helps you to stop comparing yourself to others, let go of relentless self-criticism, understand the roots of distance in relationships and restore your sense of self-respect.
