This book explores the multifaceted nature of narcissism, distinguishing between the clinical diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) and the pervasive narcissistic behaviors that contribute to a "narcissistic culture." Erikson details key characteristics of narcissists, such as an unrealistic self-image, a belief that rules don't apply to them, constant self-promotion, and manipulative tendencies, including love bombing and gaslighting.
