What exactly is narcissism? An incurable disease that can ruin your future, a habit that needs to be curbed, or a trait that needs to be cultivated? How can you tell if your partner, your child, or even yourself are narcissists?

Dr. Craig Malkin offers a new insight into narcissism, demonstrating why being labeled a 'narcissist' is not necessarily a bad thing. In this groundbreaking book, the clinical psychologist defines narcissism as a spectrum of self-importance, explaining that each of us falls somewhere on the scale between absolute self-sacrifice and complete arrogance.

He reveals why it is essential to accept some level of narcissism in order to maintain a healthy sense of self-esteem. Feeling special, to some degree, can make you better partners, leaders, and explorers.

As supportive as it is revealing, the book "The Narcissist Test" is the first and only one that distinguishes the healthy from the unhealthy version of narcissism, offering clear, step-by-step instructions on how to promote the healthy form in your partner, your children, and yourself.

From advice for parents, social media users, and schools, this is the definitive text that will help you overcome the bad – and embrace the good – about feeling special.
