Rethinking Narcissism: the bad –and the surprising good- about feeling special
Harper Wave
Craig Malkin, an HMS instructor in psychology in the department of psychiatry, discusses narcissism and ways to control it, showing readers that there is more to narcissism than they may know. Malkin dissects the word “narcissist” and how it is often interpreted differently each time it is used, showing that the definition itself may have lost any clear meaning.
Malkin offers an alternative to the assumption that it is “bad” to be a narcissist, arguing that a dash of narcissism can be a good thing. He argues that most people fall within a spectrum between selflessness and arrogance, and that a healthy balance shows a strong sense of self. In his book Rethinking Narcissism, Malkin offers a guide to distinguishing the healthy from the unhealthy and looks at how narcissism may be portrayed in a good way.
