Fragile Bully

Understanding Our Destructive Affair With Narcissism in the Age of Trump

By: Laurie Helgoe

Obsessive self-promotion, an aggressive triggering response, and retaliatory rants. “Both sensitive and incisive, beautifully capturing the paradoxical dynamic of narcissism—that the grandiosity and surrounding bravado belies an underlying fragility and brittleness.” —Kenneth N. Levy, PhD, Associate Professor, Penn State University; Senior Fellow, Personality Disorders Institute, Cornell University Even before Donald Trump entered America’s highest office, an international survey revealed that narcissism is part of the assumed “national character” of Americans. While only a small number actually meet the criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder, those exploitive few have a way of gaining center stage in our culture. Fragile Bully: Understanding Our Destructive Affair With Narcissism in the Age of Trump looks beyond the sound bites of self-aggrandizing celebrities and selfish tweets to the real problem of narcissism. We see past the solo act to the vicious circles that arise in relationships with a fragile bully, and how patterns like this generate both power and self-destruction. We also look at the problem of Echo, how so many of us get hooked by the narcissist, and how variations on the destructive affair leave both partners dehumanized and diminished. Once we recognize the steps in each dance, we can break the cycle and allow and the possibility of true engagement.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Raising Boys

By: Laurie A. Helgoe,Barron M. Helgoe

Ever since the publication of Raising Cain- Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys(in hardcover in 1999), parents and the public have been aware that adolescent boys were at risk just as much as their sisters. If Ophelia needed to be revived, Hamlet also needed protection from the "culture of cruelty" in which young boys found themselves. And as more care was taken to support the dreams and aspirations of young women, we sometimes find that their brothers are floundering - with recent statistics revealing that the so-called disadvantaged girls are actually attending and graduating from colleges in greater numbers than boys. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Raising Boystakes readers from the birth of their sons to the day they head off to college. Raising sons isn't all bleak news - in fact, it can be joyous and exhilarating for both moms and dads - and this book is as much an appreciation as it is a hands-on parenting guide. In warm, wise words, the husband-and-wife authors, parents of two sons themselves, explore all that is different and the same, precious and at times irritating, about the boys in their lives.
