A lot of podcast listeners ask about narcissism so I thought I’d find an expert.

Stan Tatkin is that guy.

He did his dissertation on narcissism. So this one gets really dense. Stan reminds the listener that if you find yourself with a narcissistic person, you might want to look in the mirror. Gulp.
