Why is it always about you? By Sandy Hotchkiss, LCSW Book Review

Why is it always about you?  By Sandy Hotchkiss, LCSW


Did you know that Narcissism is a personality disorder?  This book is about just that topic.  Have you ever been around a person who has an inflated perception of themselves and little regard for others?  Inside your head you ask, “Does anyone care about how my day has gone?” This is the Narcissism person many of you have been around and felt like it’s better not to “rock the boat”, but in reality you want to express your feelings but nothing seems to come out of your mouth.  At the end of this book you will be able to identify what a Narcissistic person is and what to do to cope with those around you that may have this toxic personality.  I know I have seen it many times in the work environment.  If you want to be able to learn about Narcissism and the problems they create and make your own changes to help you survive and reason with one, this book will be a go to guide.  This book is designed to help you make sense of dealing with or how not to deal with a toxic personality disorder so that you can protect or self from being used in ways that undermine your self-esteem. What I liked most about this book is the details on the seven deadly sins of Narcissism which include; shame, magical thinking, arrogance, envy, entitlement, exploitation and bad boundaries of which bad boundaries is where I learned the most as I do deal with Narcissism on a daily basis.  It is a relief to have a book to help me realize I am not the problem, they are and how to deal with them.

  1. So true - there are always people in our lives who don't seem to think about anything other than themselves. Sounds like this book has some great advice for dealing with them!
