The really sad part is that you have junior psychologists and wanna-be psychologists, who have had no life experience with true narcissists – trying to diagnose people who may not really be a narcissist at all. I believe the experts when they say, a true malignant narcissist cannot be captured.

But we need more people in the garden.

There are not only the authors that who were purportedly involved with narcissists but some personal stories of other people within the ebook as well. While I don't discredit anyone's personal experience, because that is their perceptions of events and thus valid, the math and statistics just aren't supporting this enough for me to feel comfortable.

It's nearly impossible that so many people (I'm assuming throughout the United States) not only had relationships with narcissists, but furthermore managed to meet each other coincidentally. Could it happen? Sure – but the odds are severely against it. There are a lot of people in the States, and again, only about 1% have a true narcissist disorder.

Also a question I have – were any of the purported narcissists medically diagnosed with the disorder? Again, maybe they were, and that's fine, but I'm really incredulous at how many people suddenly seem to be coming out.

It's really important, when exploring psychological issues, to remember that there's a huge difference between an actual medical issue and just someone who behaves badly. Plenty of people walk around saying, “Oh, I have ADD,” or, “I must have Alzheimer's,” but that doesn't make it a reality. We all have forgetful moments or times where we can't follow a list or periods where we show some ego, but that doesn't point to psychological issues. Nor does getting on the bandwagon and bringing everyone along help.

Educate, yes, but where in the ebook does it say, “This is really not a common disorder,” or, “Most people are not narcissists.” It doesn't. This concerns me. By reading something generalized, implicative and assumptive, we can all point to people in our lives and suddenly label them with a diagnosis to explain their behaviour (or even worse, our own behaviour!) – when we are in no way qualified to do so.

I'm also wondering what the ultimate goal of giving away this free ebook might be. Is there some kind of service coming afterwards and it's a lead-in? Is it just a nice (albeit harmful, I feel) gesture for the world? Very rarely do people invest their time and money to give something away for free and without some other plan in behind it. What's the motive?

I'll go lay off the coffee now and stop rambling on – clearly I've had more than my fair share!

What about the statistic that Narcissistic Personality Disorder only affects around 1% of the general population?

Yet, according to your book, I am a narcissist because I have done *everything* you said a narcissist does in an argument with friends, family and even my fiancée.

However, my friends, family and even my fiancée has done the *exact* same thing to me.

For every person that you are helping, that you are empowering, how many are you harming? How many of those are false positives?
