Given the current political scene and our fascination with reality TV, it has something relevant to offer for everyone." -Judith Siegel, PhD, LCSW, author of Stop Overreacting: Effective Strategies for Calming Your Emotions

"Both sensitive and incisive, beautifully capturing the paradoxical dynamic of narcissism-that the grandiosity and surrounding bravado belies an underlying fragility and brittleness." -Kenneth N.
