Thank you for writing such a helpful, scientific and yet pragmatic book without drama or sensationalism. Calm, orderly and practical, it helps regain confidence and the ability to be yourself without fear of recrimination and in turn to let your abuser go and not come back.

I am so glad i came across this book it was a real kick in the teeth for me to wake up to something which has troubled me for as long as i could remember... You know the feeling when you know something is wrong but you cannot quite put your finger on it and start blaming yourself for lack of an alternative? This will put it all in perspective and call out a hidden epidemic of abuse.. Modern life is saturated with this kind of malaise and yet on the outside it seems as if nothing is wrong...Well this book brings well needed clarity and yes rage to the situation. Pure passionate rage much needed and long overdue against an injustice so widespread and malignant that anger is the only thing which will bring it out into full view out from its dark hiding places and into the air where we can breath again and heal old chronic wounds and gather courage to voice our oppression and give solace to others who are trapped in suffering. The author is the bravest most inspiring person i have come across and she is very much needed..read it and wake up and reclaim your lost power..

This book was very enlightening, the author seems very passionate in her research and it shows. However there was a few things that I had to disagree with but thats just down to personal perspective. Overall this really helped me, and I think it will help others. I highly recommend Dr Ramani, she is a narcissist expert, you can find flood loads of free content on YouTube!

Such a useful resource

My heart breaks for all those who reach for this book as a way to try and recover. This one is worth it's salt. Good luck peeps.

Navigating the aftermath of a narcissistic abusive relationship is painful and confusing. This book provides explanations and advice that I found massively helpful. It’s validating to read and to know I wasn’t alone. There is hope and a way forward! can’t thank you enough x

A few chapters in. My first time reading any related material that truly details the attributes of a narcissistic abuser. Being a survivor of such a traumatic experience I must say I wish I had found this book earlier. A massive thank you to the Author for producing such a thorough piece of work - Shahida truly understands narcissistic personality disorder and what harm is done to someone who has had the misfortune of being involved with a person who has this character type. I would 100% recommend this book, and send love to all survivors of narcissistic personality abuse.

Im a medical student, I read it a while a go and it really cool that has scientific evidence. It validates what you feel. Other books that I recommend if you happen to deal with a similar situation are The power of now by Eckhart Tolle and how to be a 3% man men by Coach corey. POWER helps validate what you feel understand what happen, helps you avoid the past mistakes and learn from there. Things do get better, I now how it feel to be down but trust me in some clock time you will looking back to this as one of the experience that most help you grow and learn. Things get better. The best is yet to come.

This book was a lifeline for me - eye-opening and empowering. My own copy has notes in the margins, and stickies marking many critical pages. I have purchased at least 4 additional copies to give to friends in need.

Ein detaillierter und einfühlsamer Ratgeber zu narzisstischem Missbrauch, der narzisstische Manipulationstechniken entlarvt und auch auf den Abbau emotionaler Barrieren (insb. in Form der Verortung der Schuld bei sich selbst) bei den Missbrauchsopfern hinwirkt. Für mich besonders wertvoll sind die Ausführungen der Autorin zu narzisstischem Missbrauch in der Familie und zu Isolation/Selbst-Isolation in Folge dieses Missbrauchs, da ich mich in diesen leider sehr stark wieder gefunden habe. Klare Kaufempfehlung meinerseits!

Shahida is probably the best author on this topic of narcissists. I had the misfortune to be with a covert narcissistic psychopath who made my life a nightmare of indescribable pain. Her books helped me to begin to understand what I was dealing with. If you only buy this book you’ll be in front.

Interesting book.
