"Very very informative. I was shocked at all the categories of the narcissistic person can have. Even more surprising to realize that I was affected by this all the way back to my childhood. I just thought that my childhood was normal but to read it and really think about it, I was raised with this behavior and subsequently fell into narcissism relationships because it felt normal.

I was able to finally break away from the addictive/narcissist relationships but the long lingering effects still affects my mind.

Reading this book has helped me put things in perspective and tools to help me continue to heal.

Very well written, easy reading, very informative and great tools to help you find ways to build your self confidence, set boundaries and start to recover."

"Finally left NARC spouse of 10 yrs. - shattered beyond words. I was blessed to have found this book. My hope has been restored and I am no longer fearful or destroyed. For anyone still with a NARC and even those that have broken off their relationship this book is a thorough COMPLETE of the horrendous abuse and devastating fallout including all the tools and resources you need to recover and rebuild. I was blind that I was even with a NARC and can't believe what it has done to me. For anyone who wants to learn EVERYTHING about narcissism this is the book for you. I am thrilled with the chapters on stopping the abuse cycle and the #1 importance of creating a support network."

"I was blown away by this book which is a vast understatement. It packs insight and tools in a tight package. It is straight and to the point. There are no wasted words. This book is the pure meat needed to provide revelation, renewal, and redemption. For some, it is a wake-up call. It acknowledges that all that the reader has been feeling has a toxic root. It needs to be pulled up and tossed on the heap. This book is a life ring! If you know someone in a relationship that seems a little off this book might save their life. If this sounds extreme let me offer this: I needed this book to save my own life."

-Steve B.

"As someone who grew up with both a narcissist father and mother and then partner, I was so anxious to see what kind of wisdom this book had to offer. The author does a great job of explaining to the reader how to deal with narcissistic abuse. I truly wish this book had been around when I was struggling to understand and overcome narcissism in my own life. Narcissism is so pervasive and destructive - and unfortunately its toxicity is only recognized by a few. Here's hoping that changes."

"If there is a book that describes being in a narcissistic relationship. This is it. This book is a great tool in finding the signs that you have been abused by a narcissist. It also tells you how to read the signs of a narcissist, standing up for yourself and not allowing oneself to fall victim over and over again. I highly recommend this book. Its isnt long and it gets straight to the point."

-Sara G.

"... By understanding the rationale behind the abuse, the book provides the victim with inspirational strategies to take back control over their own mental health by discussing leaving the narcissist, the different stages of healing with setting boundaries and holistic practices to take back both mental and physical health."
