76: Narcissistic Leaders and the Damaging Lies They Tell, with Dov Baron

"What we're calling narcissistic behavior is actually the behavior that comes out of massive insecurity, and guess what? If you have skin and you're a human, you have felt insecure at some point in time and then you've probably behaved in a way that was narcissistic, as a result of that insecurity." - Dov Baron Narcissism is damaging, and a topic that I talk and teach about often, but what exactly is it and how can we recognize its traits in ourselves, and in others?
