“Everyday Narcissism unfolds a way to understand why we are the way we are and do what we do in relationships, even if it’s not good for us. Nancy Van Dyken exposes five erroneous myths about a common perception that our needs will be met if we meet the needs of others first. She helps us understand what gives rise to these myths and offers lots of ways to address them, much to our benefit.”—Connie Dawson, coauthor of Growing Up Again
"Everyday Narcissism gives us a new and very helpful way to look at narcissism. It reminds us of truths we already knew or suspected but have discounted or forgotten. An easy read, filled with help, good will, and hope. I am wildly enthusiastic about the book!”—Jean Illsley Clark, bestselling author of Self-Esteem: A Family Affair, How Much Is Too Much?
“Everyday Narcissism is a spirited book that’s filled with useful insights and self-help suggestions. Nancy Van Dyken turns the growing problem of narcissism around by helping us look at ourselves, rather than judging everyone else. Her Five Myths, Feelings Lists, Needs List, and many easy activities focus the reader on practical steps anyone can take. By making it simple, Van Dyken helps us nurture ourselves while also paying better attention to our relationships.”—Bill Eddy, coauthor of Splitting
“This little book offers its readers a BIG liberation! Wisely and sensitively crafted, Nancy Van Dyken examines EN—everyday narcissism—in an informed, honest, and nonjudgmental voice. This is a hopeful, positive gem of a book that I could not put down. I, for one, benefitted from its insights and am putting into practice its many lessons.”—Scherrie A. Foster, Professor of Communication, Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College
