Joseph Burgo PhD
In the tradition of The Sociopath Next Door, clinical psychologist Joseph Burgo's The Narcissist You Know is a guide to help you identify, disarm, and coexist with extreme narcissists.
In today's social media and selfie-obsessed culture, we are living in an age of narcissism - and a society that often celebrates this potentially harmful trait rather than understanding it as a psychological disorder. Scientists are beginning to learn that narcissism exists on a spectrum - much like autism - and most of us exhibit some mild narcissistic tendencies. But one in 20 people falls into a category the author refers to as extreme narcissism, in which these self-absorbed characteristics result in destructive behavior that harms not only the individual but everyone around them, including friends, family, and coworkers.
With more than 30 years of experience studying personality disorders and treating extreme narcissists, Dr. Joseph Burgo has developed a useful guidebook to help you identify, understand, and manage narcissistic personalities. Relying on detailed profiles, vignettes from the author's practice, and celebrity biographies, The Narcissist You Know offers easy-to-understand tools and solutions you can use to defuse hostile situations and survive assaults on your self-esteem should you ever find yourself in an extreme narcissist's orbit.
Don't let narcissism destroy your relationships. Get the tools you need to understand, work with, and live with the narcissist you know.

One thing that annoyed me though was the authors obvious political leanings. He goes on at length about Republican political figures (not that they don’t deserve it) but seems to gloss over any examples that might be on the Democratic side of the spectrum. For example, I would’ve thought Hillary Clinton was a wellspring of

What did you love best about The Narcissist You Know?
This book gives a multitude of real examples from the authors experience. The author reviewed the psycho dynamic history of each example, which helps with empathy for the narcissist. The book contains pointers on how to deal with extreme narcissists.What about Christopher Lane’s performance did you like?
Christopher Lane's performance brought the author's words to life and was very expressive.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Yes, the childhood environment of Micheal Jackson nearly brought me to tears.Any additional comments?
This book was very helpful to me. I resigned from work I passonately loved in December, 2015 because my relationship with my supervisor had progressively turned ugly. The book gave me a clearer understanding of my supervisor's extreme narcissism, as well as my own narcissistic tendencies. This added clarity is helping me to psychologically move on from the awful experience of dealing with an extremely narcissistic boss for close to 14 years.Helped me understand a very narcissistic boss
