I found this audiobook and listened to it end to end and found it enlightening. The book is well written, and the narration is easy to follow. I gave it to my daughter, and at first she resisted, but once she gave it a chance, she realized it's coming from love. She is working on the steps and seems to be improving on her habits. Fingers crossed she will continue. I have experienced a narcissist firsthand, and it was not good. I started to see the same traits in my daughter and wanted to see if we could change that before she leaves for college.
