interesting

very interesting, gives a short but very informative cue on manipulation, and ways to relate to that behavior...

Insightful & Powerful

I’m pleased with the authors approach to keeping this book short & sweet. Thanks for the insight. Great book!

Before I couldn't put my finger on it; now I know

This is by far the most enlightening book of the most valuable knowledge I have ever read.

Short, sweet & all I needed to know

This was pretty good. I’ve been working on myself for over a year now, so I was familiar with a lot of it. It was still nice to have everything validated though. Hearing it said to me again put me back on track since my narcissist is trying to bring back that trauma bond (while he’s also love bombing his new supply). If you’re in the beginnings of the emotions of leaving or you just left, this will get you started in the right direction. The book also gives additional resources to help you. It also gives those that are considering getting serious someone the red flags to look for. I liked the fact that it was short and sweet - and direct to the point without all of the fluff. I didn’t pay much attention to the reader herself, but merely focused on what she was reading/saying.

very helpful

Helps One Understand

And realize that you’re not the only one..or crazy. Emotional manipulation is a form of abuse, it says. True.

Very interesting

To the point

Solid information that gets straight to the point without strings of babble. Covert Narcissism is so different from overt and this book zeros in on that.

Useful guide

Really helps identify and validate your experiences with a covert emotional manipulative $#!π. purely evil that these people exist. I could actually get behind persecution of such people, but they would insert themselves into powerful positions of deciding the criteria of who would be persecuted, and the victims would then be persecuted.

Did not miss one thing!
