Steven Carter and Julia Sokol tackle the major relationship issue of our times-narcissism. In this book they explain why it's so easy to fall for narcissists who are typically experts in intensity, passion, and romantic seduction. Here's the problem: Narcissists always make sure that their relationships are organized around their priorities, agendas, and emotional ups and downs. Narcissists are so self-involved that they can't relate to their partner's needs. Using detailed anecdotes, the authors illustrate the common pitfalls and difficulties with sustaining a relationship with a narcissist, while simultaneously helping you come to terms with the turmoil you are experiencing. In addition, Steven and Julia give you the necessary tools you need to see the connection between narcissism and commitmentphobia, a term they coined, as well as between narcissism and addictive behaviors such as alcoholism. Here are the valuable tactics and survival tips you need in order to cope and take care of yourself, along with strategies for getting help or getting out. Steven and Julia write with the compassionate language that people have come to expect from them. In this book they go beyond mere explanation to help both men and women understand why they are with partners who are incapable of loving anyone but themselves.
