Story
When you want to live your life and free yourself from a narcissist, it can be hard to know what to do. The problem is that your sense of self has been eroded because you’ve not had the chance to think for yourself and be who you are for as long as you can remember. When life sends you down this type of spiral, it can feel daunting when you so much as contemplate leaving and living life on your own terms. But the truth is that this is natural, everyone in your position feels this way, and it’s certainly nothing to be ashamed of.

Story
Our future selves are obstinate in repeating the same errors every single time. In this book, I will describe elements in ourselves that contribute to what I call the “stupidity factor” of our future selves. I will present tips and techniques that you can use for taming that incorrigible future self to be less…stupid. Because when you realize your future self is still you, you will most likely behave the same way your present self behaves in the future. That’s an advantage because the future self will never magically change or surprise you with new behaviors. That’s a fact!

Hi! I’m Frankie, and if you like dogs, then The Stories of Jack and Rory is the perfect book for you! My Granny Trish tells great stories, and these are about two Labrador dogs called Jack and Rory and all the adventures they have throughout their lives. Some of the stories have morals to them, lots of them are funny, and some of them are sad. Granny Trish says that because of some of the sad bits, this book might not be suitable for really little kids. I’m seven and three-quarters years old and her stories about Jack and Rory are my favorites! I really hope you enjoy them!

insightful
Having recently realized I have been in a harmful friendship with someone who displays alot of narcissistic characteristics, I found this book insightful in how to navigate forward...in or out of the relationship. At times I did find myself wishing for a change in narrator, but perhaps it was because I listened to the entire book in one sitting.

Transformed my life
Throughout my whole childhood I was forced to deal with a narcissistic father and it was extremely challenging. Looking back on it if I had this audiobook I would have at least been able to understand why my father was the way he was and it would have made dealing with him much easier. That being said I am grateful I stumbled upon this book as I can go back and attempt to heal some of the trauma that I dealt with as a young child.

Super informative and enlightening!
This was such an interesting book, especially the chapter on relationships with narcissists. The dynamics are explained so well, and you may find similar relationships in your life that you may not have realized are toxic. This is a well-rounded book and discusses the causes of narcissism and the types of people who find themselves in a relationship with a narcissist. Great narration!
