This is an extraordinarily insightful and revealing presentation by Sam Vaknin. He takes us through a deeply personal, emotional and heartbreaking journey of what it is like to have narcissistic personalty disorder and how it makes him feel. His awareness, coupled with over twenty five years in the field and his unspeakably brilliant mind, really offers us an extremely rare window into the barren, lonely and frightening life of the pathological narcissist.
