Richard Nixon opens with young navy lieutenant "Nick" Nixon returning from the Pacific and setting his cap at Congress, an idealistic dreamer seeking to build a better world. Yet amid the turns of that now legendary 1946 campaign, Nixon's finer attributes quickly gave way to unapologetic ruthlessness. It is a stunning overture to John A. Farrell's magisterial portrait of a man who embodied postwar American cynicism.

They say one in every 25 people is a sociopath. They live among us, these master manipulators with no regard for other people. With every flattering compliment they give you, there is an ulterior motive, and once they discover what's most important to you, they will exploit you to no end. They'll take advantage of you, and, if you allow them to get to close to or intimate with you, they might just take you for every cent you have.

In Rethinking Narcissism listeners will learn that there's far more to narcissism than its reductive invective would imply. The truth is that narcissists (all of us) fall on a spectrum somewhere between utter selflessness on the one side and arrogance and grandiosity on the other. A healthy middle exhibits a strong sense of self.

Publisher's Summary
Some difficult people aren't just hard to deal with - they're dangerous.
Do you know someone whose moods swing wildly? Do they act unreasonably suspicious or antagonistic? Do they blame others for their own problems?
When a high-conflict person has one of five common personality disorders - borderline, narcissistic, paranoid, antisocial, or histrionic - they can lash out in risky extremes of emotion and aggression. And once an HCP decides to target you, they're hard to shake.
But there are ways to protect yourself. Using empathy-driven conflict management techniques, Bill Eddy, a lawyer and therapist with extensive mediation experience, will teach you to:
- Spot warning signs of the five high-conflict personalities in others and in yourself.
- Manage relationships with HCPs at work and in your private life.
- Safely avoid or end dangerous and stressful interactions with HCPs.
Filled with expert advice and real-life anecdotes, 5 Types of People Who Can Ruin Your Life is an essential guide to helping you escape negative relationships, build healthy connections, and safeguard your reputation and personal life in the process. And if you have a high-conflict personality, this book will help you help yourself.

#audible1. Very timely!
Very glad I picked this up when it was on sale. Quite honestly, it would be well worth a credit.
This book describes High
-Conflict Personality Types and their likely behaviours with tips on how to deal with them. Notably, both Narcissistic personalities and Sociopathic personality types (quite often found together) are drawn to politics and other positions of power. Their ability to dazzle others by their confidence and charisma makes them especially dangerous; more so when they are indifferent to the suffering they may cause others. Their need for conflict is almost addictive as, unlike the rest of us, conflict calms them physiologically, rather than putting them in physical jeapardy. Hmmm, any real life examples spring to mind?
Yes, there are also other High-Conflict Personality types described in this book too, and I would urge readers to pay attention to these descriptions too.
All in all, a valuable reference book and one I shall listen to again and again.

Interesting and educational
I would recommend this book to anyone who has to deal with High Conflict People in their life. I managed Unions for over 14 years and have had to deal with many High Conflict situations from negotiations to disciplinary meetings - up to and including dismissal. I have taken many courses on Conflict Management including - Dealing with Anger, Reframing, Mediation 1 & 2 among others. I found the descriptions of personalities of HCPs and their habits very accurate to my experience. I even learned about some habits from this book, whereupon reflection didn't realize at the time, what I was about to be dealing with. I have been slandered, threatened (including my life), had my reputation attacked and near the end of 14 years, was being ground down to fine powder emotionally. Which is why I was surprised at some of the recommendations in this book. The author on occasion recommends that you address HCPs and their negative supporters from time to time. I will agree that there are times you have no choice. However, I would recommend that you don't interact with them at all if possible. The only truly effective way to deal with these people is to completely cut them out of your life as soon as possible. Regardless of how I feel about the advice, you should give this book a listen. I have even added the W.E.B. - Words, Emotions and Behavior Assessment and the 40 characteristics of HCPs to my day planner for reference in the event I need it in the future.

After being in an abusive relationship I wanted to learn about behaviours. After listening to it, I will buy it. It mentions so many important things. Not only describes the personalities but teaches you how to deal with them. Loved this book! The narrator does an amazing job as well.
