Overall, I highly recommend it based on content.

This book is very informative. I've read a lot on personality and still learned things I didn't formerly know. Extremely insightful.

I only gave three stars because the information could have been much better organized. It's written in a question and answer style, and each question is answered as if you are reading it out of context. This leads to a huge amount of repetition, and at times the author seems to contradict himself.

The author admittedly represents the most extreme version of the personality disorder, so keep this in mind while you read. I personally found it helpful, but a few words setting that tone would have been helpful.

One other thing to note. It has a huge amount of links through the book. It's easy to unknowingly select a link when you intent is to turn the page. I kept getting lost.… (más)

What I find inspiring about Vankin is that in one of his interviews he mentioned that he was diagnosed him with narcissistic personality disorder and is visiting professor at Southern Federal University in Rostov Oblast, Russia in 2017 holding a course of lectures there on personality theory in psychology.

He resembled me yet on the other side of the color pad, I the public health practitioner who is supposed to raise awareness and develop policies against women under domestic violence had undergone the violence, and him a psychologist had been not a borderline narcissist himself. What inspired me is that he gave tips of how a narcissist thinks and acts because he was one until he psychoanalyzed himself.

Additionally, he has an email channel and he is prompt in responding to emails, I did email him and he got back to me within a maximum of 48 hours.
