Narcissism: The Spectrum of Self Importance with Dr. Craig Malkin

Season 2, Ep. 27
•

Narcissists are self important eltists who preen and primp, admiring themselves and their accomplishments while they blatantly ignore others. Just launch any social media platform and you will find your choice of narcissist there.


But is this really an accurate depiction of narcissism? Are all narcissists toxic?


Dr. Craig Malkin helps us to understand that narcissism is a spectrum on which we all find ourselves. Dr. Malkin is a lecturer in Psychology for Harvard Medical School and the author of  the internationally acclaimed book Rethinking Narcissism: The Secret to Recognizing and Coping with Narcissists.
