The author laid out an incredible line up of chapter. The book starts off with a bang! , opposites attract! So true. I 100% agree with that. This is how they describe the narc in an amazing way: Meanwhile, the narcissist (flame) is magnetic and alluring. He captures the attention of everyone around him but consumes their energy to a detrimental point. The empath is the moth. When the flame comes it burns it up! To be honest I didn't like the cover of the book but I'm loving the content. Here's a highlight: He is emotionally detached to protect his false self-image and maintain control of interpersonal interactions. Every classic narcissistic trait we’ve discussed is the narcissist’s attempt at covering up his low self-worth. This book is a great quick read on all the things you need to know about narcissistic abuse in general. Then even threw in a chapter about if you have narc parents. I would have loved a co-parenting with a narc but that would be a whole book then again, in which I'm going to write. Thank you so much to the author!
Great advise for all people. After reading this book, I know that I am a empath for the most part. I think we all have several layers to us... not everyone is painted with one big brush. That said this book is really crucial, because if a kind person runs into a person that are, id say, displaying narcissistic behave... the kind person can really get taken for a ride. It's sad because the narcissistic person is their own worst enemy, because the empath is best thing for them. but sadly they won;t realize it. They will just use the empath. So this book helps protect the kind spirit in our society.
