It's Not You : How to identify and heal from narcissistic people

The book provides guidance for recognizing, understanding, and protecting oneself from psychological abuse by narcissistic individuals. Psychologist Dr. Ramani Durvasula—drawing from her professional work with survivors and her own personal experiences—explains how narcissists use manipulation, domination, gaslighting, and other tactics to control others. Though often charming at first, narcissists typically display traits such as grandiosity, entitlement, lack of empathy, and a constant need for validation. Their behavior can leave victims feeling shame, confusion, depression, and anxiety.
