The Wizard of Oz and Other Narcissists: Coping with the One-Way Relationship in Work, Love, and Family
by Eleanor D. Payson
On This Page
Description
"Disguised as high self-esteem, narcissism is actually a destrucitve form of self-love or extreme self-absorption. Soon the lion's share of attention and resources are going in one direction--towards the narcissist. When involved with the narcissist, the damage to your own self-esteem can be enormous, resulting in chronic anger, depression, and feelings of helplessness"--Back cover.Tags

This is the story of my life told through the lens of people who do not see anyone but themselves in the world. The Wizard of Oz and Other Narcissists gave me so much insight into my entire life; parents, friendships, romantic relationships, co-workers, and that nasty place at which I used to work.
Easy to read and understand, Eleanor Payson writes of the many ways NPD harms us and offers help to minimize the harmful swipes at our self-esteem and confidence. As I read, I began to understand why I had felt so confused and adrift my entire life.
