About this ebook

Narcissism is a modern epidemic, and it’s spreading rapidly. But how do you know if you are in a relationship with one—and, what can you do about it? We live in a world of romance and rescue, where many believe love will conquer all, and that the more we endure unacceptable behavior, the more likely that we can “fix” our relationships. It doesn’t always work that way—despite what the fairy tales tell us. There are a few hard facts about pathological narcissism that most people don’t know and most psychologists will never tell you. Should I Stay or Should I Go? uses checklists, clinical wisdom, and real stories from real people to prepare you for the real terrain of pathological narcissism. It raises the red flags to watch for and provides a realistic roadmap for difficult situations to help you reclaim yourself, find healing, and live an authentic and empowered life. Whether you stay. Or go.

My sister loves this book. It has helped her to realize that her husband's characteristics point towards narcissism. And it's helping her in seeing where narcissism comes from. I knew she was going through a lot & I had seen some of Dr. Durasula's videos on YouTube. This book won't be for everyone, but people who believe they may have a narcissist in their lives will appreciate this book.

I love this books. I wasn't sure if my partner is meant for me because I don't like been hurt, I decided to do a background check if she's a faithful person to marry. This got me to hire a legit hacket SERIAL HACKER 003 (on) gmail com who hacked into her cell phone and grant me opportunity to monitor and see all current and previous activities on my partner phone without my partner knowong. I was able to know a lot of things about my partner through this service
