Really helpful for people looking to understand their emotionally immature and/or malignant narcissist parents or guardians. Doesn’t hold enough nuance for people of the global majority. Most of the emphasis on the book is how to maintain a relationship with these parents, and didn’t spend enough time on adult children who have already done these steps and are needing to move to low/no contact. Attachment theory would be a helpful addition

Super informative with great exercises to help identify within yourself and within others emotional maturity vs immaturity. Great for discussing with therapists and understanding why you might do or say certain things. 

I learned a lot about myself from this book and it helped me a lot. Def rec to others.
