Miscellaneous See other Miscellaneous Articles Title: Narcissism - C2C program Date: 09-08-14 Host: George Noory Guests: W. Keith Campbell In the first half, Professor at the University of Georgia, W. Keith Campbell, discussed the epidemic of narcissism in our culture. He defined narcissism as having a grandiose or inflated sense of self-- being a "legend in your own mind," and thinking that you're better than other people or better than you really are. Narcissism is a trait that most people have some of in their life, but when it reaches a certain level, it can be diagnosed as a disorder or condition, he said. There are certain signs that become more evident over time such as people always turning the conversation back to themselves, as well as an arrogant attitude, or a brazenness about self-promotion. The trait appears to be on the rise-- two thirds of college students in America in the 2000s had narcissism scores higher than the average student in the 1980s, he reported. Social media and "selfie" photography are newer tools that narcissists sometimes use to promote themselves or make themselves look good, he added. Narcissists sometimes make for good political leaders, and many US presidents of the last century have scored high in those traits, Campbell noted. They can also make for good partners, as long your interests and theirs align-- if they don't, that's when narcissists may exploit or hurt people, he cautioned. wkeithcampbell.com lynnemctaggart.com wddty.com Book(s): The Narcissism Epidemic When You Love a Man Who Loves Himself The Bond: How to Fix Your Falling-down World The Intention Experiment Related Articles Are You a Narcissist?
