About meI consider myself your typical midwestern American girl. I grew up in a suburb of Chicago and always knew that I wanted to live in the big city someday. As a child, I played piano competitively and dreamed of being a concert pianist in downtown Chicago. When I was a junior in highschool, my piano teacher moved away and I shut down creatively. It wasn't until my late twenties that I began to get in touch with my creative side again.
I received my masters degree in Human Resources from Loyola University and must thank my favorite graduate school professor, Dr. Arup Varma, for encouraging me to write something with the idea that it could actually be published!
Dr. Arup Varma and Dr. Linda Stroh of Loyola University Chicago contributed to my thesis on female expatriates working overseas, which resulted in my first publication in the Journal of World Business. As a result of this experience, I have continued writing and been published twice more. Thanks, Dr. V!
Studying and practicing HR gives me a unique perspective on human behavior. My personal experience of falling for two pathological narcissists is what led me to write "It's All About Him." I will utilize my educational and professional background to write my next book, "The Abuse of Power in the Workplace." Narcissism permeates every facet of personal relationships, including the work relationship.
Most importantly, I want to thank my wonderful parents for being role models to me. You are my heroes and you inspire me every day. Thank you for always supporting my ideas and pursuits, no matter how outlandish they may seem at first. I dedicate this book to you, my family and friends for your unwavering love and support. I can't thank you enough.
I hope to connect with you, my readers, in a way that helps you understand the narcissist in your life. Being in a relationship with a narcissist is like riding a roller-coaster you can't get off. It is exciting and exhilarating at one moment and confusing and demoralizing the next. I don't believe anyone can understand what it is like to love a narcissist unless they have experienced it themselves, which is why I encourage all of you to contribute your thoughts to our messageboard. We can relate to one another and support one another in a way no one else can.
It is my hope that my book and messageboard will provide you the support and understanding you need to cope and live with a narcissist or in some cases, break free from one.

Is he avoiding intimacy?
Obsessed with his image?
Incapable of empathizing with you?
Well, when your man is a narcissist, it has nothing to do with you....It's All About Him.
Have you tried to return things to the way they were in the beginning of the relationship? Do you wonder what happened to the wonderful man you initially met?
What you need to understand is that if your man is a narcissist, he has perfected the art of charm and will use it to win you over and secure your love.
Unfortunately, once you commit to a narcissist, he no longer maintains this fake image. You wonder what happened to the man you fell in love with, and try to figure out what you did to make things go so awry.
It is important for you to know, you have done nothing wrong. Do not be upset with yourself for believing he was something he's not. Narcissists are brilliant actors and can win anyone over. They are fun, exciting and can even appear genuine.
Once you commit, however, this behavior ends. His true colors emerge. You no longer recognize the man you've committed your life to anymore. But now what? Now that you are in a serious relationship with him or perhaps even married, what should you do?
Well, the first thing you need to do is understand why he is the way he is. My book "It's All About Him" will help you do this. You also need to talk to others who understand what you're going through. The messageboard on my site is full of strong, intelligent, compassionate women who have been or are in a relationship with a narcissist and trying to make sense of it all.
Please visit us at www.lisaescott.com to share your story and offer your insight and support. We look forward to hearing from you soon. Together, we can help one another in a way no one else can understand.
