Rethinking narcissism: Is some narcissism healthy? What are the psychological roots of toxic forms?
Craig Malkin is the author of "Rethinking Narcissism: The Secret to Recognizing and Coping with Narcissists," in which he describes the spectrum of narcissism: how it can be healthy to have positive illusions about one's self and one's life, as long as those illusions don't become pathologically unhealthy and toxic. Topics discussed include: the spectrum of narcissism, as Craig sees it; common misconceptions about narcissism; the Narcissistic Personality Inventory, which is the basis of many people's understanding of narcissism; the phenomenon of people calling others "narcissists" for weak reasons; and existential and psychological factors that can lead to more narcissistic ways of engaging with the world.
