Stripped down to its basic action, narcissism is a learned response, that is, a habit and, like any habit, it gets stronger or weaker depending on circumstances.

Craig Malkin

Introduction

In Greek mythology, Narcissus becomes engrossed with his own reflection, falling in love with himself and refusing to give attention to anything else.

Patterns of self-obsession, inflated self-importance, and a need to feel special are echoed in our concept of narcissism today.

While narcissism is a widely-known concept, internationally acclaimed author, Harvard lecturer, and clinical psychologist Craig Malkin implores us to take a second look at our understanding of this complex phenomenon.

Drawing on his personal experience, his studies in the field of psychology, and his clinical work, Dr. Malkin shows us that narcissism is a spectrum and that healthy levels of narcissism are not only possible but ideal.
