The Selfishness of Others: An Essay on the Fear of Narcissism by Kristin Dombek

4.0

I wasn't sure what to make of this book at first, but by the end I was taken in by its many approaches to the current "epidemic" of narcissism (the quotes follow from what's in the book). What I took away from this book more than anything is that so much of what we're told about how society is changing - millennials being selfish, etc. - needs to be investigated further and not taken on face value. We are fed oversimplified versions of the truth too often. Of course, interrogating what you're presented with is always a good idea. This book was a good reminder of that.
