Book excerpt: When going 'no contact' is not an option: discover how to cope with narcissists while living under the same roof, sharing a workplace, or co-parenting. Do you try to please a loved one, only to find your efforts have made matters worse? Have you felt worthless after another raging session of criticism and ridicule by someone close to you? Or has a colleague at work ever blamed you for his failures or spread gossip about you? If this sounds familiar, you just might have a narcissist in your inner circle. Psychologists and behavioral experts are still debating the causes of narcissism, but they all agree on one thing: having a narcissist in your life is extremely harmful to your well-being.
