Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. N.A.R.C.I.S.S.I.S.T.: The Real Meaning of Narcissism is a groundbreaking psychological deep dive into the modern narcissist-what they do, how they think, and most importantly, how they affect you. Written by renowned clinical psychologist Dorien Valent, this eye-opening book is more than just an analysis-it's a practical survival guide for anyone who has ever been trapped in the confusing, painful orbit of a narcissist.Unlike traditional clinical manuals filled with jargon and theory, N.A.R.C.I.S.S.I.S.T. breaks down the narcissistic personality into ten unmistakable behaviours, each one linked to a letter in the acronym. From Never Admits Being Wrong to Triangulates You and Turns You Down, each chapter explores a key psychological tactic used by narcissists to manipulate, control, and destabilise the people around them.You'll begin to see how these behaviours form a pattern-a systematic way of relating to others that revolves entirely around dominance, image, and avoidance of vulnerability. Narcissists don't just make you feel bad; they make you question your own perception of reality. They twist truth, rewrite history, and turn even your closest relationships into weapons of control. With real-life examples, clear definitions, and step-by-step advice, this book equips readers to recognise these red flags early and respond with clarity and strength.Each chapter follows a consistent structure that helps you unpack the behaviour on multiple levels: Explaining the Behaviour: What does this behaviour look like in real life, and how does it play out in daily interactions?Understanding the Behaviour: What drives the narcissist to act this way? What inner insecurities or fears fuel their actions?Identifying the Behaviour: How can you spot this tactic in the wild-at home, at work, or in friendships-before it spirals into long-term emotional harm?How to Deal with the Behaviour: Clear, empowering advice on protecting your mental wellbeing, setting boundaries, and resisting manipulation.The beauty of N.A.R.C.I.S.S.I.S.T. lies in its balance. It doesn't demonise or excuse narcissistic individuals-it explains them. Dorien Valent writes with a tone that is compassionate yet unflinching, illuminating the emotional cost of these behaviours while refusing to offer false hope of change where it may not exist.Whether you've just started questioning your relationship, or you've already been on the receiving end of narcissistic abuse, this book gives you language for what you've felt and clarity for what to do next. It validates the invisible wounds narcissists can leave behind-and it offers a path toward healing.N.A.R.C.I.S.S.I.S.T. is not just a book about narcissists. It's a book for survivors. For empaths. For anyone who's ever been silenced, dismissed, or made to feel like they were the problem. It is, above all, a book about reclaiming your reality-and your voice. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Charm is captivating. It draws people in, lowers defences, and builds instant connection. But what if that easy smile, that magnetic personality, and that sense of being truly seen were not signs of warmth - but of calculation? The Psychopath Next Door pulls back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood aspects of human behaviour: how charm can be used not to connect, but to control.This deeply insightful book explores how manipulative individuals - from everyday narcissists to those with psychopathic tendencies - use charm as a mask. They seem confident, engaging, and generous, but beneath the polished surface lies a different reality: one built on self-interest, deceit, and emotional manipulation. Their friendliness can feel like sunlight, but it often hides something cold beneath.Dorien Valent guides readers through ten revealing chapters, each examining a different red flag hidden within excessive or unnatural charm. You'll learn how to recognize the subtle signs - the "too-smooth" conversation, the quick attachment that fades overnight, the empty promises, and the selective empathy that only appears when it benefits them. Through clear explanations and relatable examples, the book shows how charm can become a powerful weapon in the hands of someone who knows exactly what they're doing.Inside, you'll discover: Charm That Feels Too Smooth, Like Slippery Ice - Why overly polished people can trigger an instinctive unease, and how to trust that feeling.Quick to Impress, Quick to Forget - How manipulative charm often burns bright and fades fast once its purpose is served.Saying Exactly What You Want to Hear - The art of mirroring and flattery as psychological tools for control.Promises, Promises, But Little Follow-Through - Why charming talkers often fall short when actions matter.When Bad Things Happen, It's Never Their Fault - The charming deflector's talent for blame-shifting and rewriting the story.Borrowing Favours, Not Giving Back - How entitlement hides behind charisma and compliments.Great Storytellers, Maybe Too Great - The danger of exaggeration and manipulation through narrative.Using Kindness Like a Tool - How generosity can become a calculated investment in power.They Seem to Lack Real Empathy - Spotting when "understanding" is mimicry, not compassion.Making You Feel Off-Balance or Confused - The hallmark of emotional manipulation disguised as affection.Each chapter stands alone, offering readers practical insight into recognising false charm and setting boundaries without losing faith in human goodness. Rather than painting all charisma as dangerous, Valent helps readers distinguish genuine warmth - the kind rooted in empathy and sincerity - from strategic charm, which thrives on confusion and emotional dependency.Drawing on research from psychology and real-world behavioural studies, the book highlights how charm can short-circuit our natural defences. It explains why we are wired to trust those who make us feel good, and how predators exploit that instinct to gain control - whether in relationships, workplaces, or social circles.But The Psychopath Next Door is not just about manipulation. It's also about awareness, empowerment, and emotional intelligence. By understanding how charm operates, readers can reclaim their intuition and learn to trust it again. The book encourages vigilance without paranoia, teaching that recognising false charm is not cynicism - it's wisdom. This item is printed on demand.
