You'll also learn about the biological side of narcissism, like how genetics and brain activity play a part, and how early life experiences can shape narcissistic behavior.The book also looks at how modern culture helps grow narcissism, especially with the rise of social media and the focus on self-image.

We also talk about how narcissism affects mental health, the workplace, and even creativity.Throughout The Science of Narcissism, you'll find simple examples, easy-to-relate-to stories, and tips on how to handle and deal with narcissism, whether in yourself or others.
