  • A new definition of narcissism, which clarifies the connection between healthy and unhealthy narcissism.
  • A novel, empirically-derived test, which encompasses both healthy narcissism and subtler forms of unhealthy narcissism.
  • Echoism, or a lack of healthy narcissism—what it is, and how to cope with it.
  • The 3 varieties of narcissists: introverted, extroverted, and communal.
  • A 2-part, attachment-based approach for reducing narcissistic behaviors.
  • 8 evidence-based parenting strategies for promoting healthy narcissism.
  • 6 empirically informed approaches for dealing with unhealthy narcissism at work.
  • SoWe: 5 empirically grounded rules for healthy social media use.

 
Throughout, you’ll find easy-to-follow templates and concrete examples for helping people who suffer from either too much—or too little—narcissism.
